24. Atlanta Falcons
Last week: 23rd
Here lie the Atlanta Falcons. They had an awesome run for a couple weeks in October, and fooled many.
All kidding aside, the Falcons laid an egg in Madrid, getting absolutely handled by the Cincinnati Bengals. And I would say that it’s time to just bury this team and forget about them, but can you really do that in the month of November with a team in the NFC South?
Absolutely not.
The NFC South is going to remain one of the most wide-open divisions in football to the very end, so even a blowout loss against the Bengals doesn’t bury the Falcons…But the eulogy is written.
We know this offense is capable of great things. We’ve seen it, and we’ve even seen it against good teams. But the inconsistency of the Falcons goes beyond maddening – you can’t trust them week after week.
23. Dallas Cowboys
Last week: 28th
The Dallas Cowboys – playing against arguably the most desperate version of the Indianapolis Colts we have seen in this recent stretch – found a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
CeeDee Lamb had 195 yards receiving on 10 receptions as the Cowboys held George Pickens out of the matchup completely. Pickens has been dealing with hamstring and shoulder issues, but there has been some underlying speculation that he could end up getting traded.
We’ll see.
Ryan Flournoy came up with some big plays for the Cowboys’ offense in this game, and Dallas just continues to look like they are at least somewhat there. I really don’t know what to make of them until we see that defense start playing better as a unit.
With that said, rookie safety Caleb Downs finished off the game with a clutch interception, and maybe the Cowboys can catch some momentum after this one.
