The Falcons are .500 again, in the NFC South lead, and welcoming back Cordarrelle Patterson. This is a team with a potent four-headed hydra on the ground, a passing attack that is becoming more interesting as the weeks grind on, one of the better special teams units in the league, and...well, a defense. They have an excellent chance to stay interesting all season, and they may very well push hard for a playoff berth.
To get there, it’d be nice to be above .500, and the Los Angeles Chargers (-3)
stand in the way of that lofty goal at the moment.
