This season has been highly disappointing in many aspects, but there is one major silver lining: the pass rush is back in Atlanta. The Falcons have never boasted an elite pass rush, but 2025 is the turning point.
Led by a trio of rookies and second-year players, Atlanta is second in the NFL in sacks, and two behind the franchise record. Of course, the record of 55 was set in just 16 games in 1997, but who cares!
In Week 18, the Dirty Birds can make history against the rival Saints, and it couldn't come against a better opponent.
