Now that the Atlanta Falcons have won a playoff game in the Smith-Ryan era, what team now has the pressure to win a playoff game.

Cowboys to win one, and Bills/ Browns to get to the playoffs.

I think you meant "off" their back.

There is always a lot of pressure on the Cowboys but they did win a Playoff game back in '09 vs the Eagles. Now the mantra is simply to get to the playoffs and advance far.. The talking points have gone from "THey haven't won a playoff game since 1998" to "They have only won 1 playoff game since 1998". Which is fair because they have been a very disappointing team for almost 2 decades now..

Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Miami...any team that has failed to win or reach the playoffs in recent memory. Atlanta was in no unique situation.

No, I think he meant which team has the monkey ON their back right now since it jumped off ATL's.

I think it has to be Denver right now.

Correct, now that Atlanta has a victory which team will be pressured to win in the playoffs next?

I have to disagree with the teams you listed. They have been mired in mediocrity so long that no one expects them to get to the postseason anyway. If I had to pass on the monkey now the most likely candidates would be Cincinnati and San Diego since they have on average been more competitive the last few years.
