Can anyone explain how/why we disappeared for the 3rd and part of 4th quarters?

I'll tell you what happened. At halftime, Smitty gave a speech somewhat similar to this:

"Guys, what the fuck are you doing? We're the Atlanta Falcons! This isn't week 8, this is the playoffs! We're not supposed to be playing like this. We have a damn reputation to live up to, we've got to crush the souls of our fanbase! Now go out there and fuck shit up like you want to lose this!"

Despite this speech, we actually won.
