The defensive unit also had its share of issues, particularly concerning the containment of quarterback Jaden Daniels, who exploited the Falcons' defensive strategy throughout the game.

While defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake's strategies are yet to be fully evaluated upon review of the film, the lack of a structured plan to address Daniels's dual-threat capability raises significant concerns about the coaching staff’s foresight and adaptability during games.
