It’s safe to say that Falcons head coach Arthur Smith did not have the debut he imagined when dreaming of becoming an NFL head coach. Despite some positives in the first quarter of Atlanta’s 32-6 loss to Philadelphia in Week 1, things were every bit as bad as the score suggests.
Smith’s offense failed to score a touchdown and couldn’t pass protect at all in the second half. A lot of that is on personnel, but it’s not the start the former Titans offensive coordinator was hoping for.
Watch Smith’s postgame press conference below, as shared by the Falcons’ Twitter account.
