What's Happening?
The Atlanta Falcons have released their 2025 preseason schedule as they aim to improve on their 8-9 record from last season and end their playoff drought. The team is focusing on building a stronger defense and enhancing their offensive capabilities, particularly through the performance of second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The Falcons have invested in rookie pass rushers Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. to bolster their defense, which struggled last season.
Why It's Important?
The preseason schedule is a critical period for the Falcons to assess their roster and make strategic adjustments. With the team missing the playoffs for several consecutive years, the performance of key players like Penix Jr. and the new rookies will be under scrutiny. Success in the preseason could set the tone for the regular season and determine the future of the coaching staff and management if the team fails to make the playoffs again.
