Atlanta Falcons’ 2020 season was highlighted by their explosive offense, but will be remembered for blowing some unfortunate leads. Matt Ryan once again put up insane numbers as the most productive Falcons QB ever with the help of one of the greatest WRs in NFL history in Julio Jones, and a young stud in Calvin Ridley. Atlanta is not far off from returning to playoff contention, if they can just avoid blowing leads at historic rates like they did in 2020.
