In the NFC South this season, the theater of the absurd rules. Thus, your first-place Atlanta Falcons, ladies and gentlemen. They’re 4-6, making them the best team in footballs worst division. When do you suppose they’ll get the go-ahead from the league to start printing up playoff tickets? It was just a couple weeks ago, of course, that Falcons head coach Mike Smith was widely considered a dead man walking, with a five-game losing streak and almost zero chance of returning for an eighth season. But look at Smith and his team now. A modest two-game winning streak has changed everything in Atlanta. The Falcons slopped their way past the pathetic Carolina Panthers 19-17 in Charlotte on Sunday, and combined with the Saints’ stunning 27-10 loss at home to Cincinnati, Atlanta now owns the top spot in the division that has been the league’s running punch line this season. si/nfl/2014/11/16/nfl-week-11-atlanta-falcons-new-orleans-saints-nfc-south#
