The Atlanta Falcons haven’t won a game since their Week 9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Since then, the team has lost four games in a row and dropped to second place in the NFC South.
If the Falcons can’t turn things around soon, they will likely miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. In Week 15, Atlanta will face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night football.
Head coach Raheem Morris knows how badly this team needs a victory. During his Thursday afternoon press conference, he was asked if Monday’s matchup in Las Vegas was a must-win game.
“I’d be lying to you if I said no,” answered Morris. “We’re essentially playing playoff football right now.”
