Neither the Buccaneers nor the Falcons will stand much of a chance against the NFC's No. 5 seed. Right now, that's the 13-win Minnesota Vikings. Crazier things have happened, and I know the ghost of the "BeastQuake" looms over us all when we look at the supposed undeserved playoff teams that happen to win their division.

A brief look at the risers (Falcons, Chiefs and Lions) and fallers (Seahawks, Bears, Patriots) after Sunday of Week 16

The NFL is getting down to it. There are still quite a few teams that have a lot to sort out when it comes to the playoff picture.

It was the most surprising first-round pick in a long time when the Atlanta Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall selection in the NFL draft last April.

NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan gave a blunt assessment of Kirk Cousins this season after Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons' first-round pick, took over as starter on Sunday.

With rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. flashing promise, don't count on the Atlanta Falcons keeping Kirk Cousins for much longer.
