Play better at home
The Falcons went 3-5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2019, lacking any kind of home-field advantage throughout the year. Worse than their record was the fact that the team simply looked flat when playing at home — something that is unacceptable given the kind of talent Atlanta has, particularly on offense.
Fans will pay to go see a team that wins, or at least plays hard. But when that team is regularly trailing 21-0 by the start of the second quarter, it doesn’t inspire much confidence. Fortunately, Atlanta finished strong and won six of its final eight games. To really contend next season, the team must take care of business at home.
