The Falcons had a must-win game on Monday night against the Giants and they got one. Now they’ve got the bye to rest up and figure out how they can keep rolling through the rest of the season and lock up a playoff spot.
That’s easier said than done, especially with the 2018 Falcons, who we will refer to heretofore as the “Hurty Birds.” Even Monday’s win couldn’t pass without yet another starter heading to injured reserve. After losing Keanu Neal, Deion Jones, Andy Levitre, Ricardo Allen, and Devonta Freeman, Brandon Fusco joined this banged-up crew with a broken ankle that ended his season.
