The good news is that the Atlanta Falcons are still winning the NFC South by a comfortable margin, as I wrote they were last week. The bad news is that they dropped a divisional game against the Saints, and now are facing a tough Denver Broncos team right before their bye week.
Atlanta’s a grim 0-2 against the AFC so far this season, having lost games to the Steelers and Chiefs, and now must contend with a smothering Denver defense and quietly solid Broncos offense led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix. They also have to deal with Sean Payton, who is always a gigantic pain in their butts.
