The Atlanta Falcons, having endured six consecutive losing seasons, are keen on playoff success following significant roster changes. Owner Arthur Blank's decision to hire Raheem Morris as head coach aims to revive the team's fortunes.
The standout move was acquiring quarterback Kirk Cousins on a substantial deal, creating competition with rookie Michael Penix Jr. for the starting role.
The team boasts notable additions like edge rusher Matthew Judon and safety Justin Simmons, enhancing both defense and offensive potential around playmakers like Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson.
Despite these changes, weaknesses remain, particularly in the receiving corps and a historically weak pass rush. The Falcons are set to improve but face challenges ahead.
