The Falcons lost for the second time in three weeks, falling to Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts, 24-27.

Matt Ryan threw for 304 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception, but it was a crucial pick deep in Colts territory that would have surely led to some points.

After a terrible first half, Ryan connected on 23 of 24 passes, but the Colts did just enough to win.

Week 4: Atlanta Falcons vs. Tennessee Titans
