The Falcons are a hot-and-cold team in the NFL this season, and nothing demonstrates that better than the past two weeks. In Week 11, Atlanta came out completely flat against their biggest divisional rival in the Saints, losing to backup QB Taysom Hill on the back of a putrid day from the offense. Then in Week 12, the Falcons thoroughly dominated a Raiders team that had twice given the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs all they could handle.
I don’t claim to understand these things, but I do enjoy a good win to help offset a brutal loss.
