NFL Overreactions Week 10
Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the wildest games in NFL Week 10.
Sports Seriously
In the final minute of their respective games, the Atlanta Falcons (6-4) and Denver Broncos (5-5) thought a victory was within their reach. Instead, they left their road games with a devastating loss but will try to regroup in their Week 11 matchup.
Missed field goals were a big issue for the Falcons against the New Orleans Saints, but Atlanta didn’t capitalize on opportunities in a game it was expected to easily win. Luckily, the Falcons have a healthy lead in the NFC South, but it would be wise not to give other teams hope of catching up and making it a tight divisional race.
Just when it looked like Denver would finally slay the mighty dragon in the Kansas City Chiefs, a blocked field goal stunned the Broncos and sent them home with another loss. They’ve exceeded expectations so far this season, but that can change if Denver continues to slide.

Lorenzo Reyes: Falcons 21, Broncos 18
Atlanta is so inconsistent. But given that the Falcons just lost to the Saints, I could see them elevating their play, even though Denver has an excellent defense. The key for the Falcons will be to generate any type of pass rush.
Tyler Dragon: Falcons 21, Broncos 19
The Broncos nearly had a signature win versus Kansas City last week. Denver played well enough to win. Will their performance carry over to Week 11 versus the Falcons? The Falcons are coming off a frustrating loss. I think Atlanta gets back on track this week with strong games from Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
Richard Morin: Broncos 27, Falcons 23
Don’t go against Bo!
Jordan Mendoza: Falcons 22, Broncos 20
On paper, Atlanta is a much better team. But Denver is scrappy and can play against almost anyone. In the altitude, Younghoe Koo redeems himself with some major kicks to power the Falcons through while the Broncos suffer another close defeat.
