Integral to the highly disappointing 1-7 start to the 2019 season was the abundant amount of defensive woes for the Atlanta Falcons. By the time the Falcons were on the road against the Saints in Week 10, the team had already relinquished five games of 360 or more total yards allowed, registered just seven total sacks, and four total takeaways. Simply put, things were brutal.
A midseason change in defensive play calling made a significant difference over the second half of the season. But the pressure cooker is on high for the Falcons defensive staff. Today, we will set an over/under on the Falcons defense and their project overall rank.
