Analysis: Someone has to win the NFC South, right?
ATLANTA — There was a flash of brilliance in the NFL’s sorriest division, the NFC South, late Sunday afternoon in Tampa.

Chargers tailback Austin Ekeler lost a fumble in the final minute. But Falcons defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham, after scooping up the football and running along the sideline, lost the ball.
“It just slipped out,” Graham said in the postgame locker room. “Just one of those football plays that I didn’t make. It definitely sucks. But we’ve got a Thursday night game.
