The Atlanta Falcons head into Week 16 coming off of one of their most impressive wins of the year while riding a multi-game winning streak. Going into the final few weeks and the home stretch of the season, the Falcons currently hold a two-game winning streak while hosting their final home game of the 2019 campaign against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Atlanta is coming off of a late-game come from behind victory on the road in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers, taking down one of the top teams in the NFL on their home field 29-22 last Sunday after Matt Ryan found Julio Jones for a touchdown in the final seconds of the game to help the Falcons steal a game on the road.
