The Running Game: Week Nine Wait, What?

There were only the tiniest of doubts in my mind before tonight's game about Atlanta. However, by the time I got home, paid my rent, and turned on the TV to see them up by 20 points, I was glad the doubts never influenced my actions.

So, with game one of Week Nine in the books, let's look at how things might turn out in 2017:

Yeah, no. But it is interesting how the AFC contains most of the usual suspects, but we have a notably missing Arizona, Carolina, and Green Bay, yet all three of the NFC East teams that DIDN'T make the post season last year.
