The Atlanta Falcons are doing their job this season. We’re just about halfway through the season, and the results as far as win/loss total stack up with some of the more optimistic preseason predictions.
Atlanta currently sits at 5-3 after completing the sweep of their main divisional competitor, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Birds, with that win, moved to 4-0 in the division and 5-1 within conference play, setting themselves up in a premier position as far as tiebreakers are concerned.
While they have been on the upswing, their opponent this weekend has been on a downward turn this season.
