The Atlanta Falcons finished the 2017 season, two yards from the end zone at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA after a failed 4th down conversion at the hands of the eventual champs, the Philadelphia Eagles.
A common theme we saw from the 2017 Falcons Offense was an inability to consistently score Touchdowns in the red zone. Another thing that was different in 2017, that didn’t happen in 2016 was the contribution from multiple players, (13 players caught Touchdowns in 2016, 9 players caught Touchdowns in 2017). The Falcons have gone to great lengths to improve red zone scoring to include upgrading the right guard position with Brandon Fusco, who was formerly with the San Francisco 49ers and Ex-Falcons Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
