Atlanta beat the best team in football on Sunday without doing much of what normally wins a game. The Falcons were outgained 400 yards to 295, ran it 29 times for 82 yards, converted four of twelve third downs and came away with field goals on three of five trips inside the red zone. They won 29-20 anyway, because San Francisco put the ball on the ground twice and threw it to the wrong team twice, and Atlanta did not give it back once.
