Last Sunday, the entire NFC South won in narrow fashion. The Falcons luckily took care of business, but the reality is that they need more than just winning to get ahead of their rivals. They need some of those rivals to start losing.
Here's a closer look at their games this weekend as the Falcons stay idle, and our thoughts on how they might actually do us a solid and lose their games.
The Panthers have played some very close games this season, and they’re 2-2 in one score games thus far. That includes a last second, incredible Graham Gano field goal-driven 33-31 win over the Giants and a 21-17 comeback win over the Eagles.
