"It's not just the defense, and we'll get to the offense in a moment. But I've covered this team for 14 years now, and I've been a fan for 20 years this season. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this has the potential to be the best, most complete defense I've ever seen from the Atlanta Falcons."
"Anyway, the offense is second in total yards per game (378.8), first in rushing yards per game (151.2), and top 10 in rushing touchdowns (6) and sacks allowed (7). I think the offensive line deserves a nod for that one - the success in the run game depends on all five guys, but this year it absolutely doesn't happen without solid play from Elijah Wilkinson with Kaleb McGary on IR."
"Four of Atlanta's five 2025 NFL Draft picks have contributed on the field this season, especially rookie DB Billy Bowman Jr. and S Xavier Watts. Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Michael Penix Jr. are all still on their rookie deals. They've got some big decisions to make in free agency, but there's a good young core group of players at key positions who will make roster building a little easier over the next few seasons."

The offense ranks second in total yards per game (378.8), first in rushing yards per game (151.2), and top 10 in rushing touchdowns (6) and sacks allowed (7). The offensive line, including Elijah Wilkinson with Kaleb McGary on IR, anchors the run game. Four of Atlanta's five 2025 draft picks have contributed, notably DB Billy Bowman Jr. and S Xavier Watts.
