NFL analyst identifies Falcons' top need entering 2025 offseason
Briefly

The Atlanta Falcons' defense has been a point of concern since 2018, particularly following a disappointing 2024 season where they allowed 34 passing touchdowns, the second most in the NFL. Despite adding Pro Bowl players, their pass defense deteriorated, yielding 10 more touchdowns and 21 additional passing yards per game than the previous season. With free agents Mike Hughes and Dee Alford potentially leaving, the team faces a significant challenge in bolstering its secondary. Additionally, the pass-rushing unit's struggles, marked by low sack totals, necessitate urgent attention and potential draft improvements in 2025.
Since the 2018 offseason, the Atlanta Falcons have been searching for answers on the defensive side of the ball.
The Falcons allowed 34 passing touchdowns this season, second most in the NFL, with opposing quarterbacks having a 100.2 passer rating targeting Atlanta.
