Despite holding the fourth and final divisional seed in the NFC, the Falcons are comfortably in the playoff race.
Atlanta sits atop the South standings with a 6-5 record, two games up from the Buccaneers and Saints. That being said, Kirk Cousins & Co. were in desperate need of a break heading into Week 12 after their first back-to-back losses of the year.
