4 NFC Teams Still Ahead of the Atlanta Falcons and 3 They’ve Passed

The Dallas Cowboys are an elite regular season team. While that compliment is a bit backhanded, it’s more than Atlanta has managed to accomplish in quite some time. Dallas has won 12 games consistently and has put up some solid offensive numbers.

Atlanta will get its chance to face the Cowboys in the regular season, which could be a good indicator of where the team stands. For Dallas, the concerns are obvious as they look to defend their division title. You have three players who deserve to be paid and an owner who has suggested he’s going to give it his all and hasn’t made any notable moves yet.

Dallas is still far ahead of Atlanta in terms of what they’ve accomplished. However, unlike San Francisco or Detroit, it’s not crazy to believe the Falcons could beat or surpass them in the NFC. The Packers’ overwhelming playoff victory showed what this team continues to be when it matters most.

Atlanta could overtake them if…

Contract issues and podcast debates are divisive and distracting for the team. Raheem Morris has proven to be a great hire and is the best coach who helped Kirk Cousins ​​elevate. The third piece of the puzzle would be to take the pressure off Dallas’ passing game by running the ball and controlling the clock with Bijan Robinson.

Dallas lacks a clear running game and could struggle against teams that have strong offensive lines and the ability to control the clock.
