spent a couple of weeks in a bad place of their own making, thanks to frankly unjustifiable losses to the Buccaneers and Panthers. The hole they dug by doing so might be one that they can’t get out of, but they did bust out one hell of an effort against the Colts en route to a 29-10 victory.
Now 7-8, the Falcons will try to keep their mini-revival going by beating the Chicago Bears (-3)
on the road. The Bears have won four of their past six and three of their last four games, moving all the way to 6-9 after starting the season 1-5.
