The Falcons are back in first place in the NFC South.

Now, can they stay there?

It what is practically a playoff game, the Falcons must win at the Commanders on Sunday night to stay ahead of the Buccaneers, who host the Panthers. The Falcons can’t afford to fall a game behind the Bucs with one to play. Sure, the Falcons host the Panthers in the final game of the regular season, but the Bucs host the Saints.

Anything can happen, but it’s best to take care of your own business.
