Falcons scheduled for only one prime-time game in 2021

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.
