A year ago, Atlanta essentially had 10 road games. One of Atlanta’s “home” games was in London—one they won and one Falcons fans abroad thankfully got to enjoy—and in the new 17 game schedule they wound up having nine true away games. As you might imagine, this team traveled a lot.
Per one analyst at ESPN Analytics, they traveled the 9th-most miles in the NFL a year ago. While they were 5-3 on the road, leading one to frown and shake your head slowly in the direction of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, it’s probably safe to say they’ll enjoy being on the road a bit less this year.
