Thankfully the Atlanta Falcons 2020 season is finally over.
Every rational person was ready to leave 2020 behind and the Atlanta Falcons fans were at the top of the list.
Hopes for this season were cautiously optimistic. Yes, Tom Brady joined the division, and Drew Brees stuck around but even then, the Falcons were supposed to compete. The NFL expanded the number of teams who could be in the playoffs and fans thought the Falcons might sneak it.
