Where will these Atlanta Falcons end up? The smart money is on them falling short of the playoffs, given their very real and mountain injury concerns and penchant for playing close games that can (and often do) go either way.
For two more weeks, thanks to the bye, these Atlanta Falcons are alive and well. They’re still bringing up the rear in the NFC South, but they now have back-to-back wins and were a few boneheaded penalties and a cringe-worthy game by Robert Alford away from making this game relatively easy. That’s no great source of pride given how bad these Giants are, but squint a little and you’ll see a path forward for a team capable of playing decent defense for stretches and putting up big plays on the other side of the ball when the stars align.
