ATLANTA -- When the Atlanta Falcons beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, it marked the first time this season two things happened:
First, Atlanta's four wins this season have all come against NFC South foes. Arizona was the first non-division win for the Falcons.
Second, the four earlier wins by the Falcons were all against teams that did not have a winning record. Beating the then-9-2 Cardinals gave Atlanta a marquee win.
The Falcons can't spend any time savoring their fifth win of the season, though. There is a tough road ahead.
Atlanta must go on the road to play a tough Green Bay team, then host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Georgia Dome. After that, the Falcons travel to face the Saints and finish the season at home with the Panthers.
Still in a dead heat with the Saints at 5-7, Atlanta has no room for speed bumps.
Jay Clemons and Knox Bardeen discuss the win over Arizona, and break down the four-game stretch ahead in this version of "Bird is the Word" our Falcons podcast.
