Aiming for the playoffs


Buy NFL Atlanta Falcons Tickets

Could this be the season the Atlanta Falcons finally make it into the playoffs? After 6 years without a postseason appearance, the Falcons are aiming to build on their last two seasons that had the same record (7-10). With some interesting additions to the roster, this could be the year in which they end a bad drought and make the playoffs, considering the NFC South division isn’t in a strong position and the Falcons should capitalize on that.

Draft additions Bijan Robinson (RB) and Matthew Bergeron (OT) should both be starters in their rookie year as they aim to gain experience, but will also have lots to deliver to the team as both players left their mark in college.

Jessie Bates III excelled last season at the Cincinnati Bengals and coach Arthur Smiths is counting on Bates to repeat it. Other additions in the defensive line are Calais Campbell, David Onyemata and Eddie Goldman. Fresh new faces that will definitely lift the team’s defense, as the Falcons ranked 25th in passing, 23rd in rushing and 27th total in yards allowed during the 2022 season.

With an upgraded squad in comparison to last year, the Falcons should be aiming for a playoff run, is the roster enough to achieve it?


How did the Atlanta Falcons perform in the 2022 NFL Season?

The team underwent a series of roster changes, with both surprises and strategic acquisitions. Notable releases included rookie Derrick Tangleo, Abdullah Anderson, and Teez Tabor, while key additions like Chuma Edoga and Matt Dickerson bolstered the team's depth.

The Falcons showed promising signs during the preseason, as they recorded victories against the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars and a 24-16 defeat to New York Jets. Something that coach Arthur Smith couldn't repeat in the opening of the regular season, as the campaign started with a 27-26 defeat to bitter rivals New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium

A subsequent matchup against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Rams, saw the Falcons rally late but fall short. The team's 0-2 start worried the fans, but there was room and time to improve.

The Falcons ended September with a hard-fought victory over the Seattle Seahawks and started October with another win at home against the Cleveland Browns

The unconvincing form stretched into November, as the Falcons recorded a loss in their visit to Tampa, a big win against the San Francisco 49ers, a loss against the Cincinnati Bengals and a huge win in overtime at home over the Carolina Panthers. With a 4-4 record at the moment, the Falcons were still in the hunt for a playoff spot.

The fight that the Falcons had shown in previous games quickly vanished, as Smith's men had a November to forget. Just one win in four games left them with little chances of making the playoffs. With the pressure of earning wins, the Falcons couldn't turn the situation around as losses started to stack up. A close defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers followed another loss to hated rivals New Orleans Saints, meaning Week 16 game against Baltimore Ravens was a kill or be killed matchup.

Unfortunately, it was the latter. As a 17-9 defeat meant a 5-10 record and every chance gone of making the playoffs. The Falcons ended the season on a high note with two games at home, both victories against Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
