by Thetruth1566 | 1 year ago | 0 Comments

The Atlanta Falcons have had a pretty decent schedule in terms of competition. They opened up week one against the Denver Broncos in which they eviscerated their opponent with the score of 55 to 13. Week two was a little bit different, but Atlanta handle business as usual and winded up winning that game 28 to 6. The third week of the season provided the first back and forth game of the season for Atlanta. They were able to pull away late and when that game 27-13. At the end of the first quarter of the season, Atlanta was handed its first lost by the Las Vegas Raiders losing by three points.

Motivated by a loss that has some controversy in it, the Falcons hosted the San Francisco 49ers who are stacked on both sides of the football and they were down early but in the second half pulled away winning 43 to 25. Week six presented a rematch with the Carolina Panthers which was closer than the first game and Atlanta somehow eeked out victory winning 30 to 20. Week 7, presented Atlanta with its second loss of the season. Losing in OT in controversial fashion to the Buccaneers. This absolutely motivated Atlanta. They rounded out the mid point of the season by facing another stacked team, Philadelphia. That game was close by halftime but in the second half the Falcons pulled away 43-17.

Now, in the third part of the season, Atlanta won convincingly 49-13 to complete the sweep on this Aints. This upcoming week, the Falcons host the #1 team in the NFC (well, they're tied with the Lions for those honors), the Dallas Cowboys in what will definitely be the game of the week. Coach Carter and Q know each other very well, competing over conference titles and division in the past, and this should be another good game. Obviously the Lions are probably rooting for the Falcons so that they can take sole possession of the one seed in the NFC. Either way, this should be a good game going forward.
