The Atlanta Falcons pulled off a much-needed, albeit ugly win in a 13-8 final over the New York Jets in Week 13. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down how this ugly, low-scoring affair lived up to expectations and the ways in which the Falcons managed to win despite not playing their best performance.

He breaks down the run games' inability to get going and why the defense was so stout even with injuries to key contributors like A.J. Terrell and Nate Landman. He breaks down Clark Phillips stepping up and why Jeff Okudah had his fair share of struggles. Later, he discusses if this win means the Falcons have finally "turned a corner" and it's time to be much more optimistic about their ability to finish this season strong.
