#Falcons are going to end their long losing streak against AFC opponents. Had lost seven in a row versus AFC.

One of the hardest losing streaks to explain, but it's done.
Yardage-wise #Falcons have absolutely dominated today. 521-288.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
ATL has 383 passing yards & 138 rushing.
Jack Crawford & John Cominsky combine for a sack on third-and-goal. #Jaguars don't convert on fourth-and-goal.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
That should do it here at the Benz. #Falcons lead 24-12 with 4:30 left and the ball.
Looked like that fourth-down pass went right through Isaiah Oliver's hands. Anyone see something else??
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Julio Jones is having a day. Nine catches for 152 yards.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Bet Jags wish they had Youngwoe Koo to attempt this onside kick for them! #Falcons
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
All the sudden, Minshew hits a long TD pass down the sidelines. This one isn't over yet. #Falcons
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Jaguars miss 2-point try. ATL leads 24-12.
Qadree Ollison vultures that TD away from Hill. #Falcons in the end zone regardless. Ollison has one carry & one TD today.#Falcons lead 24-6.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Another really nice run from Hill. Gain of 17 yards to start 4th Q.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Brian Hill is having a nice day on the ground. 43 yards on only five carries. He leads the team in rushing today.#Falcons have 89 rushing yards through three quarter & lead 17-6.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Jaguars can't get anything going through the air, but a few Minshew scrambles & some #Falcons penalties leads to Jax FG.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
ATL leads 17-6. 2:29 left in 3rd Q.
Minshew is moving the Jaguars with his legs this quarter, but Grady Jarrett doesn't let him get away there. #Falcons have two sacks today.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Ryan is trying to get the ball to Jones a lot today, but it costs him again. INT.#Jaguars have two INT today & both were on Ryan targets to Jones.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Second #Falcons punt downed inside the 3-yard line today. Special teams having quite a day.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
#Falcons force punt on first possession of second half.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Holding penalty on third down called against Jax a big help.
Minshew's first completion of the second half goes for 17 yards. He had 21 passing yards in the first two quarters. #Falcons
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
#Falcons turn in one of their better halves of the season. Ahead 17-3 at halftime over #Jaguars.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
ATL holds Gardner Minshew to just 3 of 10 for 21 yards in first half.
Austin Hooper couldn't quite get the first down before going out of bounds to stop the clock. That brought on Koo for FG attempt.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
He makes this chip shot. #Falcons ahead 17-3.
Looked like it should have been a delay of game. But ATL will take the Vic Beasley sack.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Loss of 7. Beasley has at least one sack in three straight games.
Two holding penalties on long runs stalls that #Falcons drive.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
ATL leading Jax in yardage 237-81. But it's still 14-3.
Nice stop from #Falcons D on third-and-2 run to force a FG attempt.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Still, Jags steal 3 points after the fake punt. 14-3 ATL leads.
Jaguars convert fake punt pass for 1st down. Jax will continue its drive at own 45-yard line.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Matt Ryan looks to throw deep to Julio Jones. But it turned into double coverage. INT
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Jaguars take over at own 16-yard line. #Falcons
#Falcons were lining up to go for 4th-and-1, but commit penalty. Instead, ATL settles for Koo missed FG.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Just when I was going to say the #Falcons were looking really great.
Dede Westbrook had two chances to catch that pass & couldn't.#Falcons force a punt & will get a chance to add to their 2-TD lead.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Devonta Freeman scores a receiving TD. ATL ahead 14-0 early.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Freeman has six touchdowns this season & all of them have come in four games.
Keith Smith with forced fumble on kickoff. #Falcons recover. Great start here for ATL.
— Dave Holcomb (@dmholcomb) December 22, 2019
Devonta Freeman with a 17-yard TD run. His second rushing TD of the season.
