The Atlanta Falcons and the Las Vegas Raiders will meet from Sin City tonight as part of the Monday Night Football doubleheader.
Atlanta comes into this game with a record of 6-7. The season has been up and down for this Falcons team. After a strong start to the year, Atlanta has struggled lately. The Falcons have lost four consecutive games.
The cold streak has taken them out of first place in the NFC South. The good news for Atlanta is that the division has been weak this season. With a win tonight, the Falcons will trail the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by one game.
