We didn’t do this at the quarter mark of the season because things were so grim, in part, but after the team’s first win it seems like a good idea to check in on Atlanta’s pace through six games.
We’ll start with the offense, and because what’s belong is so lengthy, I’m not going to bother with preamble.
Falcons Offense
2020 Pace: 432 points, 6,459 yards, 13 turnovers; 4,665 passing yards, 1,794 rushing yards, 376 first downs, 85 penalties
2019 Final: 381 points, 6,075 yards, 25 turnovers; 4,714 passing yards, 1,361 rushing yards, 383 first downs, 119 penalties
Despite three anemic efforts this year against Seattle (to a lesser extent), Green Bay and Carolina, the Falcons are on pace to blow by almost every single one of their 2019 offensive marks.
