While the Atlanta Falcons have lost six straight games and have now seen their playoff hopes take a massive hit, one has to wonder what this team can do to right the ship over the final three games. Well, if you ask Devonta Freeman, the team needs to do two things, they need to get their energy back, and they need to just go out and have some fun.

Via Matt Winkeljohn of ESPN:

“You got to look at yourself. This is going to determine you: Back against the wall, everybody booing you, saying you ain't this and you ain't that, and how good you ain't,” Freeman said. “Now it's all about eliminating the clutter and just playing football, making it a fun game.”

“Energy; it's all about the energy,” he said. “We've got to get our energy back, finish the season strong ... Yesterday was like a disaster. They seriously beat us. They were a good team. They just physically beat us.”

Atlanta will likely need Freeman to have a strong game in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars if they want to end this tough run. Can Freeman take charge and help the Falcons end the streak?
