Things change quickly in the NFL, and there’s no better example than the 2019 Atlanta Falcons before and after their bye week.
Two weeks ago, this team was a double-digit underdog to the New Orleans Saints. Now, just one day away from Atlanta’s Week 12 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, experts are convinced the Falcons are back.
