With the conference championship games behind us, it's time again to look back at the 2016 season and analyze what happened when the best teams in the league played at their worst. Yes, the Falcons and Patriots both won a lot of games to get here -- 29 in total between them -- but they also lost seven times. We know all about their triumphs, but what lessons can we learn from their struggles, and what are the weaknesses that could be exposed and exploited in Houston? Tom Brady's suspension makes the selection of New England's worst games a complicated process (though not for the reasons you might think), so we'll start with Atlanta, and cover the Patriots next week.
