NFC South report: The Falcons keep pace even while losing

The four teams in the NFC South only have the dimmest of NFC Wild Card hopes at this point. The Seahawks and Commanders won, moving their respective records to 7-4 and 7-5, and that puts them streets ahead of all the sub-.500 squads in the division. I know there are five games left in the 2022 season, but two games (and more, in the case of the Falcons with the Commanders, given their recent loss) is a lot of ground to make up over that short time span. It’s very possible that none of the four teams in the NFC South ultimately grab one of the open Wild Card spots, even that seventh slot.
