The Atlanta Falcons announced their full 2021 schedule on Wednesday. The bye week? Early. Late season game in the snow? Yes. Final game of the season? Against the Saints. Prime-time games? One.
That is disappointing news for Falcons fans. The prime-time games are a chance for some extra hype, with the night crews giving the team the extra attention you do not get during the standard kickoffs. It is a good time to get excited to watch the team.
A few years back, the Falcons could have three or four prime-time games. Those games are usually bookmarked for the more interesting teams that can compete and bring in ratings.
