The Atlanta Falcons being “good” is not a concept any of us have had a lot of practice thinking about the past three years.
Though it’s been just those three years since their last playoff win, it’s been four years since, well, you know, the big game in Houston with the blown lead and all. The 2018 season was one we were all quite excited about, but it’d be an eventual plunge to three years of deeply terrible football. The remnants of the Steve Sarkisian offense would give way to Darth Koetter’s ignoble return, and the defense would ebb and flow—mostly ebbing—over that span.
