The Atlanta Falcons dropped to third place in the NFC South standings after the Carolina Panthers‘ 30-27 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon. The Panthers improved to 3-2 with the win, moving into sole possession of second place in the division. That’s not bad for a team that started out 0-2 this season.
The New Orleans Saints remain last in the NFC South standings after their 25-19 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 6. The Saints currently sit at 1-5 and are arguably the worst team in the NFL through the first six weeks of the season.
