The NFC South almost belonged to the Atlanta Falcons in 2025.

To end the season, Kirk Cousins stepped up in Michael Penix Jr.’s absence and helped the club cobble together a four-game win streak to tie the Panthers and Buccaneers at 8-9.

Unfortunately, due to a tiebreaker, Carolina won the division and sent Atlanta packing for the offseason.

Once the season officially wrapped, the franchise went into rebuild mode and dumped head coach Raheem Morris for former Browns field general Kevin Stefanski.

Stefanski, 44, joins Falcons nucleus members Michael Penix Jr., Bijan Robinson, Chris Lindstrom, Drake London and Jesse Bates III along with head-turning offseason acquisitions Brian Robinson Jr., Tua Tagovailoa, Jahan Dotson, Jake Bailey and Austin Hooper as well as standout second round draft pick Avieon Terrell.

And, while they look great on paper and have the fifth-easiest schedule of any NFL team in ’26 (based on last year’s winning percentages), don’t start daydreaming of a playoff berth banner hanging from the rafters just yet.

Penix Jr. and the Dirty Birds will really have to show up this year given how many perennial contenders — and 2025 under-performers but often great teams — are heading to Mercedes-Benz Stadium come September.

Thanks to the NFL schedule rollout, we know the club will have to face Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens (Oct. 11), Caleb Williams Chicago Bears (Oct. 18), Brock Purdy’s San Francisco 49ers (Oct. 25), Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs (Nov. 15) and Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions (Dec. 6) at home.

Of course, they’ll meet up with the Bryce Young’s Carolina Panthers (Sept. 20) and Baker Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Dec. 27), too.

Thus, Stefanski’s squad will need all the help it can get from the Falcons faithful.
