"The Atlanta Falcons had some daunting matchups heading into 2025, but a few of them turned out to be easier than expected. The Buffalo Bills were in a downswing when Atlanta saw them-though they did a very nice job of shutting them down, regardless-and the Vikings and Buccaneers have been far worse than expected. They hung tough against the Patriots and gave a game first half effort against the Seahawks before the wheels came off,"
"The Falcons are a worse team across the board, to the surprise of exactly zero of you. They're one of the few teams in the Rams' neighborhood in terms of rushing and have fared better against opposing quarterbacks than the Rams, and have been a little less likely to give the ball away. But Los Angeles boasts a much more productive passing attack, a better run defense, and a more opportunistic defense in terms of turnovers;"
The Falcons faced several daunting matchups but some opponents underperformed, including a Bills team in a downswing and weaker Vikings and Buccaneers. Atlanta competed with the Patriots and provided a strong first-half effort versus the Seahawks before collapsing later. The Rams project as the NFC’s top team due to talent, coaching and relative health, despite concerning losses to the Seahawks and Panthers. Statistically, the Falcons lag overall but match the Rams in rushing and have been better in some turnover and quarterback matchup metrics. Los Angeles maintains a more productive passing game, stronger run defense and a more opportunistic defense.
