The Atlanta Falcons are fresh off a confidence-building win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even if it wasn’t a particularly impressive win.
Now they’ll get another shot at a struggling team in the cozy confines of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This week, it’s a Giants team with a decrepit Eli Manning at quarterback, but a difficult-to-stop rookie running back in Saquon Barkley. The Falcons could lose this one in a myriad of ways, but at least Manning suddenly catching fire seems fairly remote at the moment. At the moment.
