Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta Falcons hosted the Chicago Bears with hopes of winning their first game of the season. The team built up a 26-10 lead by the fourth quarter and forced the Bears to bench embattled starter Mitch Trubisky. However, backup Nick Foles led a massive comeback and kept the Falcons winless, making the Atlanta-based franchise the first team in NFL history to lose back-to-back games despite leading by 15 or more points in the fourth quarter.

When the fans saw the final score of 30-26, they responded with considerable anger. Many called for owner Arthur Blank to fire head coach Dan Quinn while others joked about how the team simply can't hold a double-digit lead. The conversations continued on social media as users weighed in to share their reactions. The Falcons entered the season with hopes of returning to the playoffs behind a powerful offense, but now the team faces an uncertain future while the fans continue to express frustration.
