The Atlanta Falcons suffered a terrible loss at the hands of the Tennessee Titans. It left many Falcons fans frustrated about the state of their team. They certainly expressed how they felt throughout the game, loudly booing Matt Ryan and others.
Falcons QB Matt Ryan what he thought about the fans' reactions. He claimed, as reported by D. Orlando Ledbetter, that being jeered at is part of the sport they're playing in.

The Falcons weren't able to convert another touchdown after tying it up early in the game. Part of the reason why the scored balloon so much can be pointed to the Titans' defense. In fact, Ryan praised their defense for being one of the best in the league.
As reported by Ledbetter on AJC:
“Tennessee’s defense is really good. I think they’re top 10 in the (NFL) in six categories. They’re physical against the run, they do a nice job on first and second down of putting you in third-and-long situations, and they have an extensive blitz package. They give you a number of different looks. They bring people from all over the place. They try and create confusion. They do a nice job and they play hard. That’s probably one of the biggest things, too. They play physical and they play hard.”
They will have to make up for this loss in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. It won't be an easy feat to accomplish, but they need to play well if they want to turn their season around.
