The Atlanta Falcons are in trouble. A season that began 2-0 has disintegrated into a 4-6 mess, with the team looking like the worst version of themselves from 2022 and even the doldrums of 2021. They’re not closing out close games, every aspect of the offense, defense, and special teams has been in disarray aside from Younghoe Koo’s kicking, and the heat has been cranked up in the court of public opinion, if not necessarily in Flowery Branch’s cool leather seating. The Falcons were supposed to be at least a borderline playoff team at this point; instead, they’re in danger of falling out of the NFC South race with one of the league’s easiest schedules.
