HOUSTON — It is written in the King James Bible Isaiah 11:6, “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.”
A bit dramatic when talking about an NFL defense but also perhaps an apt analogy to what happened to the Atlanta Falcons defense to transform the team from a playoff hopeful to NFC champs.
Atlanta allowed 28.3 points per game in its first 10 games, going 6-4 heading into the bye, but has allowed only 20.
