The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up to challenge the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ dominance in the NFC South Division, and they’re looking to make a statement from the get-go.
With high expectations surrounding their offense, the Falcons are poised to unleash their full potential after years of conservative play.
However, it’s their defense that’s expected to set the tone, now that Raheem Morris is at the helm.
The team wasted no time in capitalizing on Matthew Judon’s situation with the New England Patriots, trading a third-round pick to secure his services.
When asked about his new addition, Morris praised Judon’s confidence and competitive edge, saying he brings a certain “swagger” to the team.

That’s Matthew Judon in a nutshell – a physical force who will stop at nothing to get the job done.
His unwavering work ethic and unrelenting passion make him the perfect player to set the tone for a defense looking to make a name for itself.
The Falcons’ revamped defense, bolstered by the additions of Judon and Justin Simmons, is shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with.
Judon’s arrival addresses the team’s biggest weakness – pass-rushing – and on paper, the Falcons look like a legitimate dark horse to make a deep playoff run in 2024.
