Atlanta’s headed into into the final nine games, having gone 3-4 in their first seven. They probably can afford to lose two more the rest of the way and have a shot at a playoff spot, but that’s it, meaning they’ll need to go 7-2 the rest of the way to stand a real chance.
The obvious question is whether they can do it, but that’s a tough one to answer until we see how they look against opponents like Washington and Cleveland, who are at least capable of being greater threats than the Giants and Buccaneers.
