We’re heading into Week 13 of the 2022 NFL season, and the Atlanta Falcons are sitting at 5-7. Normally, this is the time of year when most teams with that record would be admitting that the playoffs are out of reach. The focus would start to shift towards 2023, especially in terms of coverage. For a multitude of reasons, that’s really not the case for the 2022 Falcons. The NFC South is a disastrous division, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leading the pack with a 5-6 record.
Atlanta is just a half-game out of first place at this juncture.
