After a much-needed hate week victory, the Falcons look slightly less hapless. They’re also, against all odds and reason, still in the NFC South race with the Panthers looking mediocre and the Buccaneers collapsing in slow motion. You have to win the easy games to even entertain that thought, though.
That means beating the Saints, as they did, and it also means beating the Jets. One of the league’s worst teams and one that just benched Justin Fields for 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor, who was last a full-time starting quarterback in 2017, New York has loaded up on draft picks in a lost year in the hopes that the future will be brighter. The present is defined by a very shaky group under a first-year head coach; if you can’t beat them, you don’t have much shot of even making things interesting against the Seahawks and Rams down the line.
Here’s all our coverage, rounded up for your reading and viewing pleasure.
