Here’s the 29th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast. After losing to the Minnesota Vikings 14-9, the Falcons are now 7-5 and would not make the playoffs if the regular-season ended today. They would be the seventh seed. The Falcons had their three-game winning streak snapped, the Vikings held Julio Jones to two catches for 24 yards and snapped Matt Ryan’s streak of 30 games with at least one touchdown pass.
