The Falcons are in the playoff hunt and also on track for a top ten pick. It’s unusual that they find themselves in that position so late in the season, but we’re going to embrace the chaos by talking about both tracks right here.
The long and short of it is that the Falcons are still playoff long shots minus a win over the 49ers this week, an outcome that would give them a fighting chance of sneaking in as the 7th seed and would bring them to .500 this late in the year for the first time since 2017.
