The Atlanta Falcons faced a disappointing end to their 2024 season after a promising 6-3 start, finishing at 8-9 and missing the playoffs once again. The team's aspirations were initially fueled by the signing of Kirk Cousins, but inconsistencies in quarterback play plagued their performance. Despite this, rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. showed potential, and key players like Bijan Robinson and Drake London had breakout seasons.

Moving into 2025, the Falcons plan to emphasize their passing game, with coaches Raheem Morris and Zac Robinson focusing on making Penix comfortable within the offensive scheme. Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are expected to continue their success in the running game, while London, Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, KhaDarel Hodge, and Ray-Ray McCloud are set to take on more prominent roles. The upcoming season is crucial for the Falcons as they look to maximize their offensive capabilities and finally secure a playoff berth.
