Sunday’s loss comes one week after the Falcons were defeated by the New Orleans Saints. Not long ago, it appeared Atlanta was poised to run away with the division, but back-to-back losses have kept the rest of the NFC South alive entering Week 12.

The Atlanta Falcons couldn’t keep up with the Bo Nix-led Denver Broncos in Week 11. The rookie quarterback threw for four touchdowns on a day that the Falcons couldn’t even manage an offensive touchdown. The Broncos won a 38-6 blowout to send Atlanta into the bye week with a 6-5 record.

"You just wake up ready to roll and you know, it's a blessing to be in my spot, be in my shoes. Each day is a new opportunity, a new time to go out there and play in front of a home crowd that showed up today.
