Team Overview
The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2025 NFL season under head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot, aiming to break a seven-year playoff drought. After finishing 8-9 in 2024, Atlanta added offensive depth through the draft and reinforced its defense in free agency. The big storyline this year is whether the Falcons can finally turn potential into results in a wide-open NFC South.
Offensive Line Analysis
The Falcons invested heavily in protection for their quarterback. The offensive line remains anchored by Chris Lindstrom, but depth behind the starters is still a question. Rookie additions are expected to compete for starting snaps, especially at tackle.
Defensive Line Analysis
Atlanta’s defensive front showed flashes in 2024 but lacked consistency. New acquisitions at defensive end should boost their pass rush. The key will be Grady Jarrett’s health and leadership in the trenches.
Week 1 – vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Result & Key Stats
The Atlanta Falcons fell 20–23. Rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. threw for 298 yards with one TD and a rushing score. The offensive line allowed just one sack, but special teams struggles proved costly.
Key Moments & Injuries
Penix capped a 91-yard drive with a goal-line dive to briefly give Atlanta the lead. However, K Younghoe Koo missed a potential game-tying FG. WRs Darnell Mooney and Drake London both exited with injuries.
Looking Ahead
The Atlanta Falcons visit the Minnesota Vikings. With WR depth uncertain, expect more reliance on the run and quick passes.
Odds to Win Division & Super Bowl
- Division Odds: +225
- Super Bowl Odds: Long shot, around +5000 across sportsbooks
Predictions
The Falcons are a dark-horse pick in the NFC South. If their young offense clicks, they could challenge Tampa Bay. Predicted record: 9-8 with a chance at a Wild Card spot.
