The Falcons and Ravens, who meet on Christmas Eve at M&T Bank Stadium, really are birds of a feather. Despite the fact that Atlanta comes into this Week 16 game with a 5-9 record and Baltimore stands at 9-5, there are plenty of similarities:
• Both teams feature a run-heavy offense
• Both teams have been dealing with quarterback injuries
• Believe it or not, both teams are one game out of first place in their respective divisions
The Ravens had actually been in first place in the AFC North for much of the season, but the red-hot Bengals tied them a few weeks ago and Baltimore dropped into second after losing in Week 15 to the Browns.
