We were all mercifully spared of having to watch the Atlanta Falcons play football last week because of the bye, but we’re not so fortunate this time around. Not only do the Falcons have a game this week, but it’s in New Orleans against the 7-1 Saints (who are also coming off of a Bye week of their own, and getting Alvin Kamara back).
The Falcons are in a bad place (or maybe they’re in a good place, depending on how you view tanking) at 1-7, and things will not get any easier as six of their last eight games of the season are against division opponents.
