Back to the Atlanta Falcons Newsfeed

Atlanta is a great passing team, but has a lot of work to do everywhere else

The Falcons are quite literally a bottom five team in rushing offense, pass defense, and run defense through six weeks of the 2018 season. When you consider all of that, it’s sort of remarkable they’ve even been able to win two games thus far.

This information comes to us from Football Outsiders, and was collected by stats enthusiast ViennaFalcons on Twitter. It shows that while Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and the gang have essentially kept the Falcons in games by themselves and even won a couple, the rest of the team has been catastrophically awful, something we sort of knew but still somehow manages to be sobering when laid out.
