Atlanta Falcons

Despite starting off last season with a 5-0 record, the Atlanta Falcons turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of 2015 after falling short of the playoffs by finishing with an 8-8 record.

Still, as long as Matt Ryan and Julio Jones remain healthy, there’s no reason why the Falcons shouldn’t be strong contenders in the NFC once again heading into the 2016 season. On paper, Atlanta has the potential to be one of the league’s most high-powered offenses–which is why Los Angeles could have their hands full in Week 14.

This matchup against the Falcons will be a true test for the Rams’ defense as every win will be important this late in the season–especially if these two teams are lucky enough to still be in the NFC playoff hunt.
