Denver lost the game by turning the ball over 4 times so early... then, it took a while for the defense to contain the Falcons.
Atlanta is a very good team, especially at home - a lot of playmakers. They won it. Yes, the refs sucked - but that's not why Denver lost. Denver put themselves in a hole early and while it was only 13-0 at one point, the momentum was lost early.
They still had a chance to win after that horrific start - so that's a positive sign and this road game was a sign of some of the learning curve they're going through with PM and the new offense.
It was a horrible start and they gave one up here that they could have won, but that happens when you play good teams at home.
