After an excellent 5-0 start, many Atlanta Falcons fans began to dream of a playoff berth for the first time since 2012. The team looked much improved on defense, and the offense was firing on all cylinders.
But then came a beat down in New Orleans by a desperate Saints team. Roll forward to the current day, and the Falcons have won only once in six tries. For a team to hit a wall so dramatically is puzzling, and the Falcons have been unable to fix any of the glaring issues on offense in recent weeks.
Atlanta won a number of close games through the undefeated start, but the tables turned rather quickly.
