The first primetime game of the Falcons’ 2017 season is here. Atlanta takes on Green Bay in what could very well be a preview of a future playoff game. This should be a great match-up between two contenders with high-powered offenses and improving defenses. I’m excited, I hope you’re excited too.
We’re officially moving on to using 2017 stats to preview these two teams. Keep in mind, these stats are based on one game. That creates some very strange and high/low numbers, because they haven’t been averaged at all. These numbers are subject to change quite a bit until about halfway through the season, when they’ll begin to fluctuate much less and trends begin to appear.
