"We were a better team than those guys," wide receiver Roddy White said after the Falcons' 48-21 loss, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We went out there, and we didn't perform at our highest level."

I just felt like that maybe the respect level, just as far as those comments were concerned, maybe weren't there at times."
