Atlanta Falcons Schedule 2022: Opponents, Dates, Times, TV Streams, and Final Record Predictions

For Atlanta Falcons supporters, the 2022 season will look drastically different. This season, Matt Ryan won’t start at quarterback for the first time since 2008. Marcus Mariota or third-round selection Desmond Ridder will do it instead. Drake London, a first-round pick, will compete with Kyle Pitts for the wide receiver position.

Calvin Ridley received a season-long suspension. Following a successful tenure as the Titans’ offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, the Falcons’ head coach, took over following a 7-10 first year. Even though Ryan continued to be at the center, it was a year of transition in many ways.

Atlanta has concentrated on retooling its offense with young players in light of the massive roster upheaval. For a club in the midst of a rebuild like Atlanta, it will be difficult to make the playoffs out of the difficult NFC South. Here is how their road will seem in 2022.

Atlanta Falcons final record prediction

Atlanta faces difficult terrain with matchups against the NFC West and AFC North. The additional inter-conference game will be a challenging contest versus the Chargers. The Falcons, who placed third last season, will take face the Bears and Commanders.

Baltimore and Cincinnati games will be challenging, and the NFC West appears to be the conference’s deepest division. Although the Falcons may not be a particularly strong squad, their 7-10 finish the year before shocked everyone. We predict the Falcons to finish the season 2-13.
