Falcons milestones and marks to watch for in Week 2

The season is extremely young, but some Falcons are already either making franchise history or are chasing it at a full sprint.

For fun while we wait nervously for kickoff against the Rams, let’s talk about some of those marks and the players chasing them.

Grady Jarrett climbs the sack charts

Quietly, Jarrett’s 1.5 sacks last week put him ahead of the great Jonathan Babineaux for 14th-place all-time on the franchise sack list. His 28 also puts him in striking distance of a few players in front of him.

Here’s that list:

  • Brady Smith - 32
  • Lester Archambeau - 31
  • Rod Coleman - 30
  • Rick Bryan - 29

The next highest total on the list is 37.
