The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of a frustrating 34-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at home. This game is arguably the most disappointing loss so far this season.

After building momentum from a three-game win streak, Atlanta had a chance to not only establish a cushion within the division, but continue to climb the ranks of the best teams in the conference, making their case as true playoff contenders alongside teams like the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, and the Washington Commanders. Fortunately for Atlanta, Tampa Bay suffered a loss to the Baltimore Ravens that kept the Falcons in first place of the NFC South.
