Key Contributors Toward Falcons Playoff Chances
The Falcons were aiming to make significant progress this season following several roster changes. The offense already features weapons like RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts, and Atlanta focused on upgrading the offensive line to boost both the running and passing games. Mid-season, QB Kirk Cousins will take the reins while Penix Jr. recovers from a knee injury.
On defense, Atlanta added significant talent, including first-round edge rushers Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr., along with linebacker Leonard Floyd to bolster the pass rush. Linebacker Divine Deablo and safety Jordan Fuller bring experience, aiming to improve tackling and overall consistency across the unit. The roster has the skill and talent, but have fallen short of expectations and will miss the postseason.
