After 5-0 start, steep climb to playoffs for Falcons

TAMPA —

After losing to the Buccaneers on Sunday, the Falcons are going to need a lot of help to make the six-team NFC playoff field even if they win all of their four remaining games.

The Falcons (6-6) are currently the No. 8 seed in the NFC, two games behind the Seahawks (7-5) and tied with the Buccaneers (6-6). In addition, the Bucs now own the tiebreaker against the Falcons by virtue of their sweep of the two-game season series.
