Falcons Road Success
Atlanta will be trying to do something on Sunday that only three teams since 2000 have ever done. Atlanta will be looking to win their third straight road game and it has only happened four times in the last decade. Jacksonville did it in 2001 and in 2005, the Eagles did it in 2005 and the Giants did it in 2009. Atlanta beat Tampa Bay and Carolina and now has to go out west for their third straight road game. The Falcons really have focused on winning on the road this season as they are 5-2. Those five wins are already more than they had last year. Atlanta has shown they can win out west as they beat San Francisco last season and in 2008 they won at Oakland and San Diego.
Struggling Seahawks
The Seahawks are 6-7 but in the rotten NFC West that is good for first place. Seattle is tied with the St. Louis Rams at the top of the division. The Seahawks and Rams are just one game ahead of San Francisco and it may be that the 49ers have the best chance of winning the division. Seattle is not a team you can have any confidence in. They are next to last in the league on defense and their offense is not much better. Head coach Pete Carroll is finding out that life is tough in the NFL.
