After a disappointing stretch of seasons in the post-Matt Ryan era, the Atlanta Falcons are hoping to finally right the ship as they have made some drastic changes from the coaching staff to the starter under center.
Although the team was heavily linked to former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, the Falcons ended up hiring former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, which was a surprising move.
Along with bringing in Morris to replace Arthur Smith, who was fired shortly after the 2023 NFL season came to an end for Atlanta, the Falcons were able to sign veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency, drastically upgrading the position.
With a star quarterback now leading the way under center, Atlanta will finally be able to make good use of their talented weapons on offense, including wide receivers Drake London, and Darnell Mooney as well as tight end Kyle Pitts and running back Bijan Robinson.
Unfortunately for Atlanta, the team got bad news yesterday when wide receiver Rondale Moore was carted off the field because of what now is being diagnosed as a season-ending knee injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

With as much talent as the Falcons have on offense, the team will be able to endure this loss of Moore, as Atlanta could very well have a high-powered offense during the upcoming 2024 NFL season.
If the Falcons can keep the majority of their star players healthy going into the 2024 campaign, Atlanta could make some noise and become a force to be reckoned with in the NFC.
