Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch's surgery could pay dividends for Atlanta Falcons

Fact: Marshawn Lynch is considering a career change; he wants to teach public speaking

The Atlanta Falcons fell out of playoff contention yesterday after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the middling Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a disappointing turn of events. Just a week ago, any Falcons fan could capably cope by just reminding him/herself that, "heck, the team isn't playing well, but if the season ended today, at least they'd be in the playoffs." And so we're left on the outside, looking in, wondering where we go from here.

Well, to be frank, this isn't overly complicated. The Seahawks need to lose games and the Falcons need to win them.
