ATLANTA (AP) — Even the woeful NFC South, where no team has a winning record, can’t hide the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive shortcomings.
Three straight setbacks, including an ugly 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, has left the Falcons 6-6 and feeling the pressure. Only a tiebreaker advantage over Tampa Bay has kept the Falcons atop the division.
Now the Falcons must prepare to visit streaking Minnesota, which has won five straight.
Veteran defensive tackle Grady Jarrett knows the Falcons must solve the flaws which have been exposed in the losing streak.
“It’s now or never,” Jarrett said. “You have to flip the mindset fast.”
