The Atlanta Falcons play another must-win game on Sunday. The birds will move to 8-5 if they check the following boxes vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

A trip to the West Coast in week 14 resulted in an outcome of dominance by the Atlanta Falcons. Defeating the Los Angeles Rams 42-14 was meshed determined by solid play from the offense, defense, and special teams. Impressively, the Falcons put together a solid game without the presence of receivers Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. Their presence were noticeable but not necessarily needed against the lowly Rams.

This week, the Falcons turn their focus to another NFC West opponent. Only this time, it’s against a team even more inferior than Los Angeles. The San Francisco 49ers (1-12) are next on the schedule.  The Niners have lost 12 straight games. Their only win on the season coming in week one against: those same, lowly Rams.
