Your Atlanta Falcons must go on. There is no option to bow out of contention gracefully when you’re hanging by your molars in the playoff hunt, and no way to just hand Baltimore a win and call it a day. More to the point, your Atlanta Falcons would never want that, because for all their warts and many flaws they still want to win the damn game every week.
So it goes with Baltimore. Atlanta’s playing for little more than dignity unless they can pull off five straight wins and get some help, and while no one in that locker room will tell you that it’s impossible, it certainly is unlikely.
