The Falcons finally have taken the lead.

Down 13-0 then 16-13 and more recently 19-16, Atlanta has driven 70 yards in seven plays to take a four-point lead over the Cardinals.

Arizona hopes to overcome a five-game losing streak; if the Falcons win, they will have overcome five turnovers, including four interceptions from quarterback Matt Ryan.

For the Cardinals, quarterback Ryan Lindley remains in the game. He has completed nine of 18 for 64 yards.

It’s not over yet. But it soon could be.
