Atlanta Falcons Conclude 2024 Season with Modest 8-9 Record

The Atlanta Falcons wrapped up their 2024 NFL season with an 8-9 record, a slight improvement over previous years, but still missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. Under head coach Raheem Morris, the team started strong with a 6-3 record before a midseason slump derailed their playoff hopes. Key players included running back Bijan Robinson, who rushed for 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns, and wide receiver Drake London, who recorded 1,271 receiving yards. Meanwhile, former Falcons receiver Julio Jones, now without a team, has been suggested for a ceremonial reunion with Atlanta, allowing him to retire as a Falcon despite his declining performance. As the Falcons look to the offseason, they must address critical gaps while reflecting on their past heroes like Jones. The future strategy will be crucial for building a more competitive team in 2025.
