The Atlanta Falcons took a pretty sizable step back in scoring last season, but their yards per play remained impressive despite serious red zone issues. The team was still in the top 10 in yards, and was just a skip and a jump away from top 5. Points? Well, that was not nearly as good, landing at spot 15.
We have spent some time blaming Steve Sarkisian, but Pro Football Focus noticed a drastic drop in efficiency late last season.
