Falcons' 2-game winning streak can't make up for disappointment of 8th straight losing season

The Atlanta Falcons’ second consecutive road win was accompanied by regrets that the success came far too late to save a lost season.

The 26-19 win at Arizona on Sunday showed evidence of many of the reasons the Falcons entered this season with playoff expectations and are frustrated to be stuck with their eighth consecutive losing season.

Bijan Robinson topped 2,000 scrimmage yards for the season, providing more statistical evidence he ranks among the most dynamic running backs in the league and in franchise history. Kyle Pitts continued his late-season emergence to show he’s one of the league’s top tight ends. Quarterback Kirk Cousins accounted for three touchdowns.
