Replacement refs, illegal hits, and bounty suspensions, no one can say that the first half of the NFL season was mundane.
With the season halfway complete, some teams slowly emerge as the playoff contenders while others prepare for the offseason.
In the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears have separated themselves from the rest of the pack with 8-0 and 7-1 records respectively. Green Bay, the former Superbowl champs are the fifth seed in the NFC with a six and three record.
Flying under the radar, the Atlanta Falcons remain undefeated, winning games with little to no frills. Roddy White and Julio Jones are a dynamic duo, putting up a combined 1080 yards and nine touchdowns so far in the season. However, their passing game would not be successful withou...

At 3-4, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves tied for 2nd place in the NFC East. Yet, at this point in the season, nobody is looking at that as a success. The Cowboys are a full 2.5 games behind the New York Giants and 1.5 games behind the Green Bay Packers in the Wildcard standings. Can the Cowboys still make the playoffs? Yes. Do they need to beat the Falcons come this Sunday night...

The Atlanta Falcons have had some pretty great wide receivers in their history. Alfred Jenkins, Andre Rison and Terrance Mathis all spring readily to mind.
Roddy White may have surpassed all of them already, and he certainly added a bullet point to resume with tonight's game against the Dallas Cowboys. White caught seven passes for 118 yards in the game, and that was enough...

Its 11 am MST on a day after the Atlanta Falcons beat the disoriented Dallas Cowboys to go 8-0 for the first time in their franchise history, and the Falcons still aren’t getting any respect. And I’m not about to give them any respect either. At least not now. Just an “Atta Boy”!

Ratliff showed signs of him old self and until his injury, he was walling off the middle to Michael Turner and charging into the pocket consistently. McCray has shown that he may be a legitimate option...

Falcons halfback Michael Turner rumbled his way to 102 yards rushing Sunday in a 19-13 win over the Cowboys.Fantasy Spin:Turner has had an up and down season but is still on pace to rush for over 1,000 yards. He's not one of the league's elite backs anymore but Turner is still a serviceable flex or RB2 option for fantasy owners.

To the right side of the Falcons' locker room, in the short corner, there is life.
There is an energy, a cluster of defensive backs each talking over one another. They are an enthusiastic bunch, as players on winning football teams are wont to be, reveling in jokes made funnier via victory. The laughter grows louder with every win.

If Jerry Jones was unhappy with the way the Dallas Cowboys had played leading up to Sunday night’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, he must be irate now. The Cowboys’ offense sputtered once again on its way to a 19-13 loss, lowering their record to 3-5.
After the game, Jones was looking to get into the locker room to likely share a few not-so-nice words with his team. Or maybe he...
