Is "QUARTERBACK CLARITY" the Number 1 Goal For the Falcons in 2026?

The Atlanta Falcons turned things over in the offseason, hiring head coach Kevin Stefanski after he was let go by the Cleveland Browns. While last year's offense was something of a disappointment despite a massive individual year from running back Bijan Robinson, the defense significantly outpaced expectations, giving the team some reason to believe it can have something going on both sides of the ball this year. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman preview the 2026 Falcons on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
