The Falcons had a tough draw in Week 17, traveling to Buffalo on what turned out to be a snowy day to play a very good Bills team. It went as expected, but despite having multiple players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, going into the game without starting cornerback Fabian Moreau, and losing Kyle Pitts to injury, they did put together some admirable stretches of play.
