Portion Of Falcons Schedule Allows Them To Create Space In The NFC South Division
Portion Of Falcons Schedule Allows Them To Create Space In The NFC South Division originally appeared on Athlon Sports. According to NFL schedule experts, since the NFL has experts in every aspect of the game, the Atlanta Falcons have the 20th-ranked strength of schedule for the 2025 NFL season. Advertisement The Falcons are ranked 17th in the league in terms of difficulty alone. However, they will play against seven teams that were over .500 last season. Three of those teams had at least twelve wins, and six had fewer than six wins. Six of Atlanta's games will be against teams that made the playoffs last year. Numbers and math are complex, but a portion of Atlanta's schedule could present them with an opportunity to rattle off a few straight wins and set themselves up for a run at the NFC South division title. Looking at the schedule and eyeing weeks 8 through 17 could give Atlanta just what they need to turn this thing around and make their first playoff appearance since 2017. Falcons GM Terry Fontenot speaks to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine. Kirby Lee-Imagn Images In week 8, the Falcons will take on the Miami Dolphins at home. They will hit the road in week 9 for a date with the New England Patriots, then return home for a week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. During this stretch, Atlanta could be looking at rattling off three wins in a row and propelling the team to a first-place division lead. Advertisement In Week 11, the Falcons will have a home game against the Carolina Panthers. Yes, they will be better across the board, but Atlanta could prove to be too much offensively. Week 12 at the New Orleans Saints is always a toss-up due to the bitter rivalry, but Atlanta could also snag a win here, depending on the Saints' QB situation. Weeks 13 and 14 will feature Atlanta taking on the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks at home. Atlanta could be looking at a six- or seven-game win streak at this point in the season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 15 are another division toss-up. Weeks 16 and 17 will bring on the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. All of this is speculation, and the Atlanta Falcons will need to develop the chemistry this summer with all of the new additions on defense. However, the offensive side of the ball can be a very potent weapon for the foreseeable future in the NFL and should propel Atlanta to the top of the NFC South.

Dolphins' Jonah Savaiinaea Praised by Coaches Early
Dolphins' Jonah Savaiinaea Praised by Coaches Early originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Dolphins are ramping up their 2025 season with organized team activities (OTAs) wrapping up and mandatory minicamp beginning this week. Advertisement One rookie is stealing the spotlight and offensive line coach Butch Barry has taken notice. Miami traded up in the second round of this year's draft to pick offensive guard Jonah Savaiinaea. He was one of several additions to help bolster the team's play along the line of scrimmage. According to Enzo Flojo at Yahoo Sports, early returns from OTAs suggest that move might be paying dividends. Barry emphasized Savaiinaea's rare combination of size and athleticism. 'You see he's a big‑body guy that's really explosive, that can run... heavy‑handed... can anchor the pocket, but explosiveness in the run game.' Barry said. Arizona offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea (OL36) runs in the 40-yard dash during the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Lee-Imagn Images Flojo also says the versatility mentioned above is a big reason Savaiinaea has stood out during reps at both left and right guard. Advertisement The young lineman has been taking the challenge head-on. 'Our standard of work has to be there and the guys are doing it and they're responding and exceeding. Because at the end of the day, it's all about them being the best version of themselves.' With Daniels still rehabbing, Savaiinaea's versatility and toughness fill a key hole up front. Potentially as a starter, or as a high-quality backup. His performance during OTAs signals a shift toward Miami's youth movement, and with a franchise focused on youth and building depth, Savaiinaea is exactly the kind of player that could have a key role in their offensive line going forward.
