Falcons climb in NFC Standings after bye week

Even without playing in Week 6, the Falcons were able to jump from 14th to 11th in the NFC.

The Atlanta Falcons took the week off as they were given the earliest available bye week of the season. With a number of injuries and enough time to make the appropriate adjustments after their London victory, the Falcons get another favorable matchup against the 1-5 Miami Dolphins in Week 7.

It is still early in the season, but never too early to look ahead and find a path to the postseason. Obviously, winning matters most of all, but you’re not going to win every single game, so it’s important to understand outside scenarios.

Here are the NFC South and conference standings after six weeks of football.
