The Atlanta Falcons have now prevailed in their fourth straight game, improving the Falcons' record to 8-9 on the year. However, it was the also-8-9 Carolina Panthers who will be hosting the NFC South's playoff game because of a tiebreaker they obtained after sweeping the Falcons earlier this season.
Now that no playoffs are on the horizon, all attention shifts toward the offseason in Atlanta. Michael Penix Jr.'s recovery will take center stage, but so will Kirk Cousins' future. In what may have been the 37-year-old's final start as a Falcon, they prevailed, but his own performance left a lot to be desired.
