The Atlanta Falcons started their NFC South gauntlet in Week 12 as they hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They will now face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13 before playing the New Orleans Saints twice, the Bucs again and then finishing things off with a date with the Carolina Panthers.
Starting off with a win against Tampa was huge as the Falcons can not only secure a playoff spot if they can continue their three-game winning streak, but they have a shot to catch New Orleans and Carolina — both teams are currently just one game ahead of them in the division.
