Bair: How Falcons' clutch victory over Giants can have lasting effect on 2021 season - AtlantaFalcons.com

The Falcons were clutch when it mattered most, especially on the game-winning drive.

Younghoe Koo sealed victory from 40 yards out after the Falcons moved 58 yards on six plays. That series was a showcase in late-game, execution, following a 15-play, game-tying drive where the Falcons finally found a rhythm.

Better late than never, and just in the nick of time. With everything on the line, the Falcons found a way to win.

"That's who we want to be," Smith said. "It's never going to be perfect. We know we have a ways to go but, when we needed the last two drives, guys stepped up. They went down the field and scored a touchdown. They kept swinging and found different ways [to win] in the clutch.

"That's what we want to do. We want to be in games at the end. It's a huge learning process, and this is a big step for our program."

If it has a lasting effect well beyond one happy Sunday, if it helps next time they're faced with a do-or-die scenario, these Falcons got a whole lot better and a whole lot tougher to beat in one afternoon.

Smith has nothing to do with what happened in previous years, including a 2020 season where they regularly coughed up late leads. What happened Sunday is, however, a clear break from that. These Falcons were closers. This franchise needs separation from the recent past to help usher in a more prosperous future.
