"The Falcons would also re-take the lead in the all time head to head series with Tampa, in an all time matchup that's currently tied at 32 after the Birds rallied a little bit in recent times with four wins in five games before the loss in Week 1 this season. This would give Atlanta an all time winning record against every other division foe."
"After all, these were the two primary combatants for the division each of the past two seasons and expectations were high for both coming into this year. While Tampa has remained on the same track they've been on the past few years, however, Atlanta has completely imploded and currently sit at 4-9 and mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. It's all over but the screaming at this point for the Falcons in 2025. All they are left to do is potentially play spoiler."
Late-season primetime pairing matched two recent NFC South contenders, but Atlanta has collapsed to 4-9 and is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Tampa Bay remains competitive at 7-6, tied atop the division with Carolina, and the two head-to-head games between Tampa and Carolina will decide the race. A Falcons victory in Week 15 would significantly harm Tampa's hopes of a record fifth consecutive division title, boost Carolina's standing, and give Atlanta the all-time head-to-head lead over Tampa. With no first-round pick this year, the Falcons mostly play for pride; a loss would mean another double-digit loss season and an eighth straight losing year.
