In a game that had a disconnection near halftime, The Falcons had to overcome a 17-0 deficient but couldn't get over the hump.

Jaguars defense totally locked up the Falcons offense in the 1st half and despite the Falcons defense holding their own, was able to get a 17-0 lead with just over 1 minute left.  Then the disconnect happened.

Owners agreed to play a half with Falcons getting the ball first and much like the 49ers/Ravens Superbowl in New Orleans.on 2013, "the lights going off" seem to help the Falcons regroup.

T Gurley had 2 touchdown runs and H Hurst caught a touchdown giving the Falcons 21 points.  Even F Oluokun was able to lurk an interception, but the Jaguars were able to also score an additional 13 points on a td run by L Fournette and 2 field goals given them an insurmountable 9 point lead with just 12 seconds left.

The Falcons will drop to 6-9 on the season and will finish the season vs the Lions on the road.
