Bill Belichick could sure use Tom Brady’s advice finding a final stop

The Falcons are still in the playoff hunt despite another bad loss
The Atlanta Falcons remaining in the thick of the NFC South picture has to be a source of torment for the team’s fans. Two weeks ago they were 6-6 and alone atop the division.
