The Falcons have now won three in a row after starting the season with a rocky 2-3 start. Wins against the Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions and Colts have brought the Falcons right back into the hunt for the playoffs.

Tampa Bay has dropped two in a row to fall to 4-4 on the season and give Atlanta a shot at the division lead with a win over the Saints this weekend.
