"Being an Atlanta Falcons fan is a curse. This Thanksgiving weekend may have been one of the best weekends of football from the entire league, from massive upsets to incredible performances throughout the weekend, the NFL showed why it is the preeminent sports league in the country. But if you're a Falcons fan, there's always that tinge of disappointment surrounding the weekend because this lowly franchise can't figure out how to finish a very winnable game against the Jets."
"Bad games happen, especially on the road, but the Rams losing to the Panthers at this juncture, as they are pushing to contend for the #1 seed, is not ideal. Still one of the best teams in the league, though. When you have a defense like Denver's, you can win nine straight despite the offense having its ups and downs. Now, the offense is starting to find its teeth while the defense is having its struggles (relatively)."
Thanksgiving weekend produced massive upsets and standout performances across the NFL, delivering top-tier games and excitement. The Atlanta Falcons continue to struggle closing winnable games, exemplified by another disappointing finish against the Jets. Four teams — Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers — occupy the final bye. Seattle's defense dominated a weakened Minnesota roster, forcing four interceptions and claiming the top spot. Drake Maye's strong play and a stout Patriots defense have repositioned New England as an AFC benchmark. Green Bay must get hot to chase the top NFC seed, while the Rams and Denver face contrasting fortunes.
