Only one year ago, the NFL's Atlanta Falcons were in nearly complete disarray. Their star quarterback was convicted of federal dogfighting charges and landed in prison, and their first-year head coach quit the team with three games to go. It all equated to a 4-win season. But that was last season.
This season, the Falcons have a new head coach and rookie quarterback among their new faces--and they've made the playoffs. The Falcons on Sunday held-on for a 24-17 win at Minnesota. With the victory, the Falcons secured a wild-card playoff spot. At 10-5 with one regular season game to go, they still have a chance to win their division and improve their playoff seeding.
