Atlanta (6-4) sits atop the NFC South but has had no chance to rest on its laurels throughout the season. The Falcons have been in eight games that finished as one-possession contests, including each of their last three outings. In Week 10, it was another close one, as Atlanta fell 20-17 to the New Orleans Saints. That squandered a massive day from running back Bijan Robinson, who scored two touchdowns while racking up 144 total yards on offense.

Denver (5-5) holds the final AFC playoff spot at the moment, but the Broncos don’t need to be told that a .500 record probably isn’t going to cut it at the end of the regular season. Last week’s two-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs shows that the Broncos can compete with the best, but after leading 14-3 at one point, it will feel like a win that slipped through the team’s collective fingers. Bo Nix did his part, throwing two touchdowns, while an in-flux situation at tailback means Audric Estime appears to be the latest top choice at running back for head coach Sean Payton.
