The margin for error is getting a little bit tighter for the Atlanta Falcons, following an absolute fumble in last weekend’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints. They have built enough of a lead in the division to maintain a cushion, but that could start to change with another poor performance.
The Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos feels like a logistical nightmare. A game out west sandwiched in between a highly emotional game in New Orleans and a late bye week would feel ripe for a let down no matter what the Broncos looked like, and it’s even harder given the very solid football Denver has played this season.
