The Falcons want to play bold and bodacious.
For the most part, they were on the mark early in the game and then needed to recover a late onside kick to hold on for the victory. But they watched the ball roll and Dallas recovered.
Greg Zuerlein kicked at 46-yard field goal at the buzzer to beat the Falcons 40-39 on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
