The bye week is a time to reflect on how we got here and, more importantly, where we could ultimately end up this season. The Atlanta Falcons got the earliest possible bye week this year and are currently preparing for the grinding 12-week run that will come immediately following it.
The Birds sit at a 2-3 record, having swept the teams who reside in East Rutherford, New Jersey and fallen to the Eagles, Buccaneers and Football Team. It’s not the ideal spot to be in, but it’s much better than where they were five weeks into the campaign each of the past three seasons.
