Welcome to championship weekend, the new championship weekend. With the introduction of the 17-game schedule in the NFL, fantasy championships which were once decided in Week 16 are now decided in Week 17 instead.
For fantasy owners who were relying on any Atlanta Falcons, that wasn’t the best of news. The Falcons had the toughest of matchups against the Buffalo Bills in the snow, and while they held their own into the third quarter, they succumbed to the elements and to Buffalo’s mighty defense.
Atlanta was promptly shut out in the second half after going into halftime with the lead.
