The Falcons did play like shit but I don't understand how that's "giving the game away"
if you look at the 5 most important plays of that game, 3-4 are literally Falcons mistakes (fumble after Indi TD made it 14-21, interception in end zone, pick six, missed FG, hell you could maybe throw in Freeman getting hurt). I think that counts as giving the game away imo, I mean the Colts had 3 turnovers too but that led to literally nothing from the Falcons while the Falcons' turnovers led directly to a 10 point swing.
Matt Ryan is playing like a broken quarterback right now, too many sacks over the last 2.5 seasons have made him start seeing ghosts and panicking even when he has a clean pocket. I honestly don't know if there's any coming back from that. He's always been known to make 1-2 stupid mistakes a game, but now every other throw is done under duress (regardless of whether there's anyone there) and he throws it to covered guys like they're all Tony fuckin Gonzalez. It's really been rather disappointing seeing him decline every year since his fantastic 2012 (and he was a top 5 QB that season at least, fite me over it) and I can only hope they can turn him around before he develops literal PTSD.
Houston is obviously the team to watch in that division, while I'll be rooting for the Jags I think they're a year or two from pulling it all together. Houston's defense has been fantastic the last 3 weeks, allowing 10 ppg to the Titans, Bengals, and Jets. Down the stretch they have the Saints and Bills (meh), 3 games against AFC South opponents (unless Luck returns they should be favored in all 3) and the Patriots left. I would not be surprised to see them go 4-2 and finish at 9-7 before getting blown out by whichever AFC North team doesn't win the division. Then again, Andy Dalton sure does have a history against the Texans in the playoffs...
