Two teams with their playoff hopes on the line meet Sunday as the Atlanta Falcons travel to Colorado to take on the Denver Broncos in a crucial midseason matchup.

The Falcons enter Sunday’s game at 6-4 on the season, comfortably atop the NFC South standings. However, Atlanta is coming off a tough loss, most recently 20-17 against a division rival, the New Orleans Saints. Quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​wasn’t his usual reliable self against New Orleans, completing 23 of his 38 passing attempts for 306 yards with no touchdowns but one interception. Cousins ​​will need to improve on these numbers if the Falcons are going to make noise in the playoffs this year.

Running back Bijan Robinson did his best to lead Atlanta to victory, rushing 20 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns, but ultimately the rest of the Falcons’ offense couldn’t do enough to secure what would have been a huge victory to set.

The Broncos, meanwhile, are coming off back-to-back losses, falling embarrassingly 41-10 to the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 3 before suffering an even more debilitating setback, 16-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs last week. It looked like the Broncos were going to steal a huge road win at the buzzer, setting up a 35-yard punt for the usually reliable Will Lutz with one second left on the clock. But Lutz’s kick was blocked and Kansas City remained undefeated all season.

Now, Denver enters Sunday’s game at 5-5 on the season and sits third in the AFC West, making a win against Atlanta crucial for Denver and its playoff hopes.
