The Falcons have gotten off to slow starts in every game but two. Whether or not that has to do with the new offense or not, it cannot continue to happen if the team wants to make a deep playoff push.
The Falcons have four 4th quarter comebacks on the year which was an NFL record through the first five games of the year but were unable to complete the comeback against the New Orleans Saints in week 6.
With extra rest, expect the Falcons offense to be extremely aggressive early on to help them get off to a fast start. The Falcons have the players, it just comes down to taking care of the ball and executing.
