Getting after the quarterback has been a bigger problem for the Atlanta Falcons than anyone wants to admit.

Originally, this was intended to be an article on whether or not the Atlanta Falcons could get to 40 sacks as a defensive unit in 2020. Upon further review, can they even get to 30 sacks seems to be a bigger question and that is a huge problem.

After going through all of the Atlanta Falcons defensive stats, the franchise has not recorded 40 or more sacks in a season since 2004 when they had 48 on the season.
