Following a bit of a dead period, unsurprisingly, the NFL has generated incredible amounts of interest in the 2024 schedule release. It’s a stark reminder that the National Football League is king.

It’s become a trend for teams to release custom videos, and the Falcons schedule release is pretty great:

We are going to break the Falcons schedule down in greater detail as the dust settles, but here are a few quick thoughts from yours truly.

The Falcons do get four of their first five games at home, but their first three weeks are brutal with the Steelers, Eagles, and Chiefs, the latter two of which will be on primetime.

Speaking of primetime!!! The Falcons have four games in primetime — two on Monday Night Football, one on Thursday and one Sunday Night Football. That’s a stark difference from what fans have become accustomed to in years past.

Getting the Raiders, Giants, Commanders, and Panthers to finish the season could be seen as a great sign after the potentially difficult start. Ending the season playing your best football going into the postseason is important, and weaker opponents certainly help in that department.

What are some games on the Falcons schedule that catch your eye?
