This is a battle of two of the most disappointing teams in the NFL, full stop. People expect the Jets and Giants to be terrible, but nobody would’ve told you with a straight face that these two teams would be 1-9 at this point in the season. They were both supposed to at least be in contention this early in the year, instead of effectively dead in the water.
Atlanta’s going to be looking for the dead cat bounce with Raheem Morris taking over the team and a jolt of recognition across the roster that players are playing for jobs in 2021 and beyond, and that alone might carry them by a surprisingly listless Minnesota team.
