Atlanta Falcons Defense

✦ Blitz AI

The Falcons defense rates as an above-average unit at 67.7, placing them 11th among all NFL defenses. Their pass rush is elite—they rank at the 97th percentile in sacks per game and the 77th percentile in takeaway rate, which are the primary drivers of the rating. However, this pressure hasn't translated to stingy overall defense: they sit at the 42nd percentile in points allowed per game and 48th percentile in yards allowed per game, suggesting they create turnovers and sacks without consistently preventing scoring. The rating reflects a defense that generates splash plays but leaks yardage.
