A pair of teams vying to bolster their postseason chances will meet in Atlanta on Sunday when the Falcons host the Los Angeles Chargers.
Atlanta (6-5) still holds a one-game lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South, despite dropping its last two games. The Falcons are in search of their first winning season and playoff appearance since 2017. A win Sunday would go a long way in accomplishing both.
