Falcons Open the Door for 5-8 Teams

By beating the Carolina Panthers 34-31 in overtime on Saturday night, the Atlanta Falcons opened a door for all of the 5-8 teams remaining in the NFC. With the Rams' difficult schedule, every 5-8 team now sees an opportunity.

The Giants are now out of the playoff picture, even though they played well against the Steelers. So the crowded NFC playoff picture has been thinned a bit.

Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans are now facing 'lose and your out' games the rest of the season. Minnesota, St Louis, and Carolina are still in good shape, but the Vikes and Rams have not been playing well.

It should be a very interesting Sunday!
