The Atlanta Falcons’ first divisional matchup doesn’t come until week 10.
But four weeks into the season and the Falcons may have gotten lucky. Yes, it’s hard to say that sitting 1-3 but look at it this way.
The Falcons so far have played two NFC games and they split those. Beating the Philadelphia Eagles at home and losing to the Minnesota Vikings on the road. That’s what you expected considering you have two solid teams.
Now, they are in the midst of three straight versus the AFC south. After playing at Houston on Sunday, 10 of the next 11 games come against the NFC.
