Suddenly, we’re all draft pick enthusiasts. The Atlanta Falcons capped off a sting of inept performances with a 26-16 loss to the Ravens at home, and that put them at 4-8 and absolutely dead in the water for the NFC playoff hunt, if you were one of the few fans or even players who thought Atlanta might hang on.
With the season dead and nothing left but to play out the string, the Falcons have a different sort of incentive in mind, one they’re likely to stay on track for at their current level of performance.
