Don’t look now, but the Atlanta Falcons are back in first place and they once again have full control of their own destiny. This happened by way of an early Christmas gift from the Dallas Cowboys, who once again reshuffled the NFC South after a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday night.
Now, it’s the Falcons who take their turn on the road against an NFC East team under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football, when they square off against the Washington Commanders, who took their own big step toward a playoff spot following a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend.
