Three of the four divisions are separated by two games or less. In the NFC South, the 6-4 Atlanta Falcons hold a two-game lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Atlanta Falcons have another tough test this week when they host rookie quarterback Bo Nix and the defensive juggernaut Denver Broncos.
The Falcons and the Broncos hope to rebound after a tough loss to the New Orleans Saints. The game was heavily swayed by the Falcons’ three missed field goals.
The Bronco loss might have been the most brutal beat of the season. They had a potential game-winning field goal blocked as time expired. They had the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs on the ropes but could not get the knockout.
This Sunday will go a long way in proving that the Broncos are legit and a much better team than their 5-5 record.
