Falcons' stellar Week 12 victory over Saints may have only postponed the inevitable

It's become abundantly clear that regardless of how the Atlanta Falcons finish the season, Raheem Morris will face an uphill battle to save his job. The 3-7 Dirty Birds entered Week 12 amid a five-game losing streak capped off by consecutive overtime losses, as the writing is firmly on the wall.

As the Falcons traveled to the Big Easy to face the New Orleans Saints, they didn't let a tough bout with the injury bug deter their competitiveness. Even without Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London, the Falcons easily disposed of their NFC South rivals in a dominant 24-10 victory on Sunday afternoon.
