We’ve said it all this week: The Falcons need this win. and all that’s left to do is see whether they can get it.
Their roadblock this week is a Steelers team that has been unable to disembark the struggle bus thus far in 2018, but have the talent to make Atlanta’s life miserable. The Falcons can’t do considerably worse on defense (right? right?) and are humming on offense, so hopefully they can triumph today. If not, we’re all aware of how unlikely it is that Atlanta will be able to make the kind of magical run necessary to push into the postseason.
