NFC South schedule: Weeks 7-9
Falcons | Saints | Panthers | Buccaneers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Week 7: | @ Buccaneers | vs. Jaguars | BYE | vs. Falcons |
Week 8: | @ Titans | @ Colts | vs. Texans | @ Bills |
Week 9: | vs. Vikings | vs. Bears | vs. Colts | @ Texans |
Outside of the Panthers, this is a more equal stretch of games. The Falcons have to play a tough Vikings team, the Saints have the Jaguars, and the Buccaneers have the Bills.
It is also a very AFC South-heavy period for the NFC South. It figures to be a division that has the Jaguars and three teams entering a new era. Fortunately, the Falcons will be past the Jags at this point in the year.
