The Atlanta Falcons returned from their bye week to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Despite a promising start and an elite performance from Atlanta’s defense, the Falcons could not overcome Kirk Cousins’ four interceptions and lost, 17-13, to drop to 6-6 on the season.

The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 13 off a bye, hoping to bounce back from two consecutive losses. However, they faced a Los Angeles Chargers team that also had something to prove after an emotional loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Harbaugh Bowl.

The Los Angeles Chargers moved to 8-4 on the 2024 season after a close battle with the Atlanta Falcons. The Chargers pulled out a narrow 17-13 victory, one that was a defensive masterclass, as they forced Kirk Cousins to throw four interceptions on the day.
