The Falcons have not, historically speaking, fared particularly well against the AFC East. That’s especially true in recent years, where the Falcons have tended to get beat up by even the absolute dregs of the division.
The Jets, happily, are a bit of an exception to the rule. The Falcons own a 7-5 all-time advantage on them, which you already read if you were checking the “How to Watch” piece I wrote yesterday. The Falcons have won five of the last seven games, with the Jets winning two very odd ones in between, namely the game that cost the Falcons Julio Jones and in 2013 and a brutal 28-3 loss during the otherwise magical 1998 season.
