FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -Let’s see: Monday is a combination of Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday is a morphing of Thursday and some of Friday. And Wednesday is part Friday, part Saturday.

When it comes to getting prepared for an NFL game with a turnaround that’s half as long as normal, things can get a little confusing. Just ask the Atlanta Falcons and the Baltimore Ravens, who have only three days to get ready for Thursday’s prime-time game between first-place teams.
For the coaches, it makes for days that are even longer than usual. For the players, it gives the body little time to heal from the game they just played. Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes calls it a “shock to the system,” but at least there’s a good side – both teams can take next weekend off.
