The Falcons lost on Sunday, but it didn’t really dent their chances in a hotly contested NFC South. That’s because the NFC South is a hot bag of wet hair at the moment.
To understand just how lousy the division is, let’s take a look at the standings.
NFC South, post-Week 7
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 3-4
Atlanta Falcons: 3-4
Carolina Panthers: 2-5
New Orleans Saints: 2-5
No team in this division has a winning record at the moment, and no team has a positive point differential, with the Buccaneers the closest at 124 points scored and 124 points against.
