EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – It was wet, soggy and sloppy, but the Atlanta Falcons still found a way to beat the New York Jets 25-20 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, ending a three-game losing streak.
The win was an important one for the Falcons, who improve to 4-3 as they try to keep pace in the NFC South. Both the Saints (5-2) and Panthers (5-3) won Sunday. Coincidentally the Falcons were 4-3 a year ago after seven games.
Aside from Atlanta snapping its losing skid, the rainy weather was one of the biggest storylines in this game as both teams struggled with the slippery and sloppy conditions.
