Final Record: 4-12
Finished: 4th Place in the NFC South
2014 Draft Position: 6th
Preseason Ranking: 6
Week 1: Lost at the New Orleans Saints, 23-17
Ranked - 20
The division is still there for them if they want it, but the Falcons will have to take out the Saints when they next play them at home later this year if they hope to repeat as division champions.
Week 2: Defeated the St. Louis Rams, 31-24
Ranked - 11
A dominating first half performance. The Falcons need to practice playing four full quarters otherwise they will once again find themselves on the outside of the Super Bowl looking in.
Week 3: Lost at the Miami Dolphins, 27-23
Ranked - 18
Ouch! That last second drive by the Dolphins really hurt the Falcons. Just three games in, they are already two full games behind the Saints in the standings.
Week 4: Lost to the New England Patriots, 30-23
Ranked - 23
Ugh… three losses already and now they trail the Saints by three full games. The Falcons have dug themselves quite the hole to climb out of.
Week 5: Lost to the New York Jets, 30-28
Ranked - 28
For all intents and purposes, the Falcons' season is over. 4 games behind the Saints already in the division, they better hope they can find some magic coming out of their bye week.
Week 6: BYE WEEK
Ranked - 26
Four games out of first place. We'll see if Atlanta remembered how to win games during their time off.
Week 7: Defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-23
Ranked - 24
The Falcons gained a little bit of stability with their win over the Buccaneers, but a solid run of victories will be needed before anybody will forget their early season troubles.
Week 8: Lost at the Arizona Cardinals, 27-13
Ranked - 26
It's hard to win football games when you can't even stay competitive with the Cardinals.
Week 9: Lost at the Carolina Panthers, 34-10
Ranked - 26
And with that huge loss to Carolina, we can now officially say Atlanta's season is over.
Week 10: Lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 33-10
Ranked - 30
Atlanta continues their freefall from near NFL glory to the cellar.
Week 11: Lost at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 41-28
Ranked - 31
The Falcons look nothing like the team that went deep into the playoffs last season. I have no idea what is going on with them and I doubt they have any idea either.
Week 12: Lost to the New Orleans Saints, 17-13
Ranked - 31
The Falcons showed some life against the Saints.
Week 13: Defeated the Buffalo Bills, 34-31
Ranked - 28
The Falcons now have as many wins as they had losses last year.
Week 14: Lost at the Green Bay Packers, 22-21
Ranked - 30
Atlanta's season just keeps getting better and better.
Week 15: Defeated the Washington Redskins, 27-26
Ranked - 26
Only two more weeks and Atlanta can put this miserable season behind them.
Week 16: Lost at the San Francisco 49ers, 34-24
Ranked - 27
No chance at the #1 draft pick or the playoffs. The Falcons are playing just to mess up Carolina's path to the Super Bowl.
Week 17: Lost to the Carolina Panthers, 21-20
Final Ranking: 26
Tomorrow, the 2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers...
