We all expected the Atlanta Falcons to once again be among the league’s best offenses in 2017, and they have delivered on that promise for the most part, overcoming some sloppy penalties and three turnovers in Detroit to deliver compelling results again.
Did you know, though, that they’ve delivered the best yards and points per drive totals in the entire NFL? I didn’t until I saw this, from Football Outsiders.
The 2016 Falcons scored 104 points through three games, thanks in large part to a complete dismantling of a pitiful New Orleans Saints defense in Week 3, while the 2017 Falcons offense has managed just 87.
