Slumped teams

Why is it that we always end up facing teams in slumps? First, after the bye, it was the Ravens. Then, this Sunday, we will face the Steelers. And after that, we have to face another team in a slump, the Bengals. Why doesn't this ever happen to the Falcons or Panthers?


I guess the Panthers got the Cowboys just in time, not to mention the Falcons when they played the Giants.
