Falcons 1-5 in Their Last Six Games
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – Coach Dan Quinn knows the Atlanta Falcons’ playoff hopes are going dim after a 5-0 start.
His team is 1-5 since and has dropped out of the postseason picture with a precarious hold on second place in the NFC South.
A loss this weekend at Tampa Bay would be Atlanta’s fifth straight and given how poorly quarterback Matt Ryan is playing, the Falcons can’t seem to do much right.
They missed a season-high 15 tackles in Sunday’s 20-10 home loss to Minnesota. Ryan was picked off twice, giving him 10 interceptions in the last seven games. He’s also lost three fumbles.
Quinn at least is hopeful that Devonta Freeman, the NFL’s eighth-leading rusher, returns this week after missing one game with a concussion.
