The Atlanta Falcons had themselves a heck of a five-day stretch last week, beating their two closest competitors in the NFC South back-to-back in front of their home fans.
The Falcons now sit at 3-2 and atop the division thanks to the tiebreakers, which are all in their control at the moment. A thrilling victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in prime time gave them some real respect on the national stage, as well. The vibes in the state of Georgia are off the charts as the fanbase is buying in.
Next, Atlanta gets the lowly 1-4 Carolina Panthers, who may once again be fighting for the top overall pick in the draft.
