The Atlanta Falcons have once again fallen two games below .500, and are now firmly on the outside looking in at 6-8. Atlanta’s loss to the 49ers all but mathematically eliminates them from playoff contention, as the team has now lost head-to-head tiebreakers against three of their top competitors in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Washington. Even a 3-0 finish to end 9-8 would probably not be enough to secure a Wild Card berth without every competitor falling to pieces. While the playoffs are now a hope and a dream, the Falcons have reclaimed a top-10 draft selection. The team is currently slotted for the 9th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and they’re likely to stay in this range based on their current trajectory.
