This Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons travel across the country to face the San Francisco 49ers and, in what may have been an overlooked game on the national scale, has grown into a game of serious implications for both teams.
These two teams are both spiraling out of control with ineffective showings over the past few weeks, but the Falcons seems a bit more able to stop their descent in the standings by protecting the ball better. They 10 turnovers (four in the red zone) over the past four weeks.
But leave it to the 49ers who are grasping for any sort of purpose for the rest of their schedule to only add fuel to a growing disdain between these teams.
