One thing became incredibly apparent while watching the Atlanta Falcons fall at the hands of their arch rival New Orleans Saints by a score of 23-13 this past Sunday. Here is that one, simple truth.
Their greatest opponent so happens to be themselves.
The 2017 season has been clear evidence of that. From butt interceptions thanks to lack of concentration on textbook catches to fumbles after a momentum-swinging interception, the Falcons are their greatest enemy at this point. Now the team is staring at a "win and you're in" scenario against the Carolina Panthers in the season finale on Sunday.
