Incredibly, the Falcons are still technically alive in the NFC playoff hunt despite a 1-4 start to the 2018 season. Taking care of business at last and winning two in a row has helped them a great deal, but they’ve also been aided by some of the consensus best teams in the NFC heading into 2018 largely disappointing thus far. The Eagles, Falcons and Vikings were supposed to join the Rams in being juggernauts, but due to injuries, ineffectiveness and poor luck, all three are hovering around .500 right now.
So where do our Falcons stand?
