Nobody Has Handled Adversity Better in 2015 Than Atlanta

Who wins four games in a season by way of fourth quarter comebacks? Let alone, who wins four of their first five games under a new coaching regime in that manner? Nobody, except for the 2015 Atlanta Falcons.

However this season shakes out, the Atlanta Falcons can say that they beat every team in the NFC East by overcoming a fourth quarter deficit. Somebody has to make some unofficial NFC East Champions shirt with the Atlanta Falcons logo emblazoned on it.

Atlanta hasn’t been the most injury plagued team of the early part of 2015 (that would be Dallas), but the Falcons can roll with the punches to get to what’s real. This team plays its best football when the game is most on the line. That is the epitome of playing Championship Football every Sunday.

I don’t know if they’re the best team in the NFL, but the Atlanta Falcons are a Top 5 team with the likes of Arizona, Cincinnati, Green Bay, and New England. Those four teams were all in the playoffs last year and many expected them to make them again in 2015.

To think that the 2015 Atlanta Falcons are only one win away from tying their win total of 6 last year is simply remarkable. I’d love nothing more than obliterating our arch rival nemesis 1-4 New Orleans in their own place on Thursday Night Football to move to 6-0. The Atlanta Falcons are for real. Rise Up!
