The Atlanta Falcons nearly overcame back from an abysmal first half against the Tennessee Titans, but they still came up short in Friday night's 23-20 loss. Offensively, Atlanta got off to a slow start. After scoring just three points in the first half, the Falcons erupted for a 17-point third quarter to tie the game at 20.

The NFL preseason Week 2 schedule begins on Friday night with a pair of games, as the Atlanta Falcons host the Tennessee Titans, and the Seattle Seahawks face the Kansas City Chiefs. Tennessee rookie quarterback Cam Ward will get his second taste of NFL preseason action after playing two drives against Tampa Bay last week.
