The Atlanta Falcons are playing their best football in over half a decade, and they are enjoying their best results in that time span as well. The Week 7 defeat against Seattle has proven to be a hiccup, as the Falcons have won five of their last six games, a run which started with a home victory against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4.
These same Saints went into that matchup with a better record than Atlanta, riding high off of back to back wins to open the season. A Week 2 drubbing of the Cowboys has proven to be the highlight of their campaign, as a free fall of seven consecutive defeats has commenced since.
