It has been a tumultuous season for the Atlanta Falcons. Despite enduring a difficult October and multiple grueling defeats in December, they did something no other previous NFC playoff team managed to accomplish. Dan Quinn’s squad is back in the playoffs. Overcoming offensive instability proved to be a difficult task at times. In a make-or-break game, the Falcons beat Carolina on the back of their speedy defense. It was another terrific performance that showcased the organization’s brilliant draft day decisions.
Limiting New Orleans and Carolina has created some buzz for Atlanta’s defense. Is this a legitimate top-ten unit?
