The Atlanta Falcons remain in first place in the NFC South despite a two-game losing streak, including a heavy loss to the Denver Broncos. Coach Raheem Morris emphasized the need for a reset during the bye week, as the team aims to recover and prepare for upcoming challenges.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins is struggling, failing to throw a touchdown pass in consecutive games, while the defense has been underwhelming, ranking last in the league for sacks. The bye week comes at a crucial time with several players injured, but the Falcons hope to bounce back against tough opponents after the break.
