Sometimes it is best to keep things simple. So here it is, writ plainly: The Atlanta Falcons have one of the best running back duos in the NFL. They have one of the best run-blocking offensive lines in the league. They’ll have one of the better ground games in the NFL, too.
If my confidence seems a little brazen after the less-than-stellar results of 2023, it’s because talent should have won the day a year ago and should win the day now. Zac Robinson is joining up from a Rams offense he’ll be heavily influenced by, and those Rams finished 11th in rushing last year (the Falcons finished 9th) despite having one elite back in Kyren Williams who played in just 12 games.
