The Atlanta Falcons caught a major break in the form of a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss on Sunday night football. That loss propelled the Falcons to first place in the NFC South due to holding the tiebreaker over the Bucs.

Here's how the Atlanta Falcons can clinch their playoff spot in Week 17, claiming the NFC South division over the Buccaneers.

Neither the Buccaneers nor the Falcons will stand much of a chance against the NFC's No. 5 seed. Right now, that's the 13-win Minnesota Vikings. Crazier things have happened, and I know the ghost of the "BeastQuake" looms over us all when we look at the supposed undeserved playoff teams that happen to win their division.
