The Atlanta Falcons can still win the NFC South.

Rams’ Week 14 loss to the Ravens shows they’re worthy of the playoffs.
The Atlanta Falcons have learned a lot this season.
Atlanta outgained Tampa Bay by 144 yards on Sunday, amassing 434 yards to the Bucs’ 290.
However, the Falcons were ultimately defeated by an early error that resulted in a touchdown for Tampa and two missed field goals by the usually dependable kicker Younghoe Koo.
Desmond Ridder, a second-year signal caller, has thrown less interceptions than just ten quarterbacks combined, but just twenty-five quarterbacks have a lower interception percentage (2.7%) than Ridder’s. “There are a lot of things we are going to clean up and a lot of things we’re going to learn from and get better from and come out better in the end,” Ridder stated following the game.
This season, how many times have Atlanta supporters heard that sentence?
You would think the Falcons would have learned enough by now, considering they are tied for 21st in the NFL in turnover differential.
To their credit, the club maintained optimism about their chances of making the playoffs despite suffering yet another heartbreaking defeat.
Richie Grant, a safety with the Falcons, personified the team’s attitude. “We knew what was riding on this game, and we didn’t get the job done, and it hurt,” he stated. “We had goals today.” However, we’re not done with it yet. We still have time to go and accomplish our goals. Therefore, all that truly has to be done is move forward and learn from this one tomorrow. Really, we can’t just sit here and cry over this one.
