We knew the Falcons weren’t going to have an easy schedule in 2022, per se, but the hope was that it might be favorable enough for this team to improve on their seven wins in 2021. With Matt Ryan gone, Calvin Ridley suspended for the entire year, and another budget offseason well underway, those hopes have dimmed a bit.
We won’t know enough about their opponents until they actually hit the field—and until we have the full schedule in hand—but on paper here in early April, it looks like Atlanta’s set to face a difficult slate in 2022.
