Five weeks into the 2022 NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons have a 2-3 record and are 0-2 against NFC South opponents. On paper, this is where most expected them to be, but upon closer inspection, the Falcons are maddeningly close to being 4-1, or potentially even 5-0.
This year’s team is markedly better along the offensive line, but the pass-rush still needs work and the new-look secondary has experienced some growing pains.
