Summary
Three completions on five throws for 22 yards left Tua Tagovailoa calling his preseason opener "not up to standard" and saying the performance "starts with me."
A botched early snap and two scoreless possessions drove the self-critique, with Atlanta punting both times and failing to show the progress built during two weeks of camp.
Tagovailoa said he hopes to play in the Falcons' remaining two preseason games to get more live reps on his new team.
The shaky debut came after Atlanta's 27-7 loss to Denver and keeps attention on the Falcons' quarterback situation as Tagovailoa works to settle in.
