9. Atlanta Falcons
Don’t be fooled by the Falcons’ victory over the Saints in New Orleans Sunday, please. These birds were expected to be far better than 2-7 and they will have to have a dynamic finish for Dan Quinn to keep his job. It’s mystifying how the Falcons have plummeted since their Super Bowl atrocity against the Patriots. It will be fascinating to see if the victory over the Saints was a fluke or a sign of a resurgence.
