The Falcons got to eight wins a year ago with substandard quarterback play for much of the year with Kirk Cousins. I'm a big believer in Michael Penix, who's not afraid to push the ball downfield and generate big plays through the air. Atlanta has a favorable schedule playing in the NFC South and should be able to pick up at least four wins in-division. Beyond that, the Falcons made a concerted effort to address their (lack of a) pass rush, adding not one but two edge rushers in the first round of the 2025 Draft.
