The Atlanta Falcons are shaking off back-to-back bad losses to the Saints and Broncos during their bye week. The team will look to get right against a hot Chargers team at home next Sunday. If they get back on track, the team will remain in control of the division.

The Falcons remain 4-1 in the NFC South with only Tampa having a real ability to nip at their heels but they are on a four-game losing streak of their own. The team has just one game remaining in the division, a matchup vs Carolina to close out the regular season. Taking care of business early in the season again their divisional opponents is the main factor buoying the team right now.

The Falcons have a balanced schedule to finish out the last six weeks of the season with winnable games against the Giants, Raiders and Panthers along with tough matchups against Washington, Minnesota and Los Angeles.
