Last week, the Atlanta Falcons had a strong showing against the Washington Redskins. Fans of the Falcons will hope that the team can continue their renewed playoff push and maybe squeeze out a Wildcard berth.
That said, if the Falcons are unable to rally and steal a win on the road against the rudderless Cleveland Browns, Atlanta’s season is likely over. The state of the NFC South is simply more competitive than we initially imagined. It is growing more likely that the Saints either win the NFC outright or finish second thus winning the division and picking up a first-round bye.
