Raheem Morris is already in his second stint with the Atlanta Falcons, and he seemingly cannot stop getting in his own way. On Sunday, the team dropped a 10-20 decision at the San Francisco 49ers, squandering the momentum that they had accumulated from an upset of the Buffalo Bills six days ago.
Lowlights from that loss included having only ten men on a third down, not going for a field goal after entering enemy territory, and attempting a pass despite having Bijan Robinson on the field and committing a turnover on downs as a result. Afterward, there were calls for his removal for such blunders:
fire Raheem Morris & Zac Robinson. he’s an embarrassment to the national football league. so many terrible play calls. Penix not being able to handle any type of pressure does not help.

The loss spoiled a decent performance for sophomore quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who completed 21 of 38 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown to Bijan Robinson.
The 49ers, meanwhile, were buoyed by running back Christian McCaffrey, who had his best performance of the season to date with 129 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. He was also their leading receiver, covering 72 yards on seven catches, as he more than made up for a mediocre performance by Mac Jones (17/26 for 152 yards and an interception to Kaden Elliss).
