The Atlanta Falcons need to focus on three things in order to win their first game

The Atlanta Falcons will finally kick off their highly anticipated season against their heated rival New Orleans Saints in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

There hasn’t been this much intrigue around this team in years. Their team felt dull over the past few seasons and now it seems the exact opposite. While many do not believe in the Falcons this year, that doesn’t mean they cannot be an entertaining team to watch.

Just think about watching Marcus Mariota throwing to Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Cordarrelle Patterson. It should spark something inside you because those are some of the most unique players in the league.

Also, for the first time since the Michael Vick era, we will get to watch a quarterback who can make plays using his legs. It is something that many are not accustomed to. Pair that with Arthur Smith’s brain and we should see some highlight reel plays.

One can only hope that there will be a lot of those come Sunday because there isn’t a team more enjoyable to torch than the Saints. Nothing would be better than opening the season by defeating the Aints.
