An analysis from Bleacher Report forecasts that the Atlanta Falcons will end the 2026 NFL season at the bottom of the NFC South. The report cites the Falcons' roster remaining largely unchanged and a need for improvement from both their quarterback and head coach. The author suggests that a lack of progress from Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix could lead to a disappointing season with only five or six wins. If mid-season performance is lacking, the Falcons may consider trade options for quarterbacks Anthony Richardson or Mac Jones.
