The Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys both sport 4-5 records as they get ready to meet Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. So why do the teams feel as though their seasons are going in different directions?

The atmosphere around the Atlanta camp was deflated after last week's loss to the Browns, which ended the team's three-game winning streak. Dallas, on the other hand, is riding high after breaking a two-game losing streak last week with a win in Philadelphia.

"Trust me, we're all p----- and disappointed," Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. "But just like when we were 1-4, we didn't plan on staying there. Certainly not backing off what we think we can get done this season."
