Commentary:
The Atlanta Falcons aim to bounce back from a challenging 7-10 season in 2023. The team has a new coach (Morris) and QB (Cousins). The Falcons’ defense showed improvement last season, ranking 12th in EPA/play allowed (1st in rush ERA/allowed), and they look to build on that with their new additions. With an improved balanced offensive attack and decent defensive lineup, the Falcons have the potential to make significant strides in the NFC South this year.
