What you need to know about the Falcons
Atlanta is coming off a disheartening loss to the Buccaneers last week that put the Falcons on the outside looking in of the NFC playoff picture.

In Week 1, the Falcons defeated the Panthers 24-10 in Atlanta as 3.5-point home favorites. The defense forced three turnovers and the two-headed monster of Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson combined to produce 177 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns.
