The Atlanta Falcons may not yet be to the level of the NFL’s better teams, but they are clearly a cut above the league’s bottom-dwellers. They reinforced that idea on Sunday with their 21-14 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and at 5-6, the Falcons are still in the thick of the playoff race.
For the team to capitalize on their position with the final month of the year essentially upon us, they will need to improve in a few respects. Still, they deserve praise for fighting their way into this spot in the first place, and there are some key players really starting to emerge.
