44. Their performance against the Chicago Bears yesterday was cringe-worthy, and that’s putting it kindly. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones have to play at their very best every game in order to give the Falcons a chance, because they probably have the league’s worst defense. Jay Cutler didn’t have to break a sweat against them, while the offense simply could not move the ball well enough. It’s pathetic to think that they scored 13 points on a Bears defense that was decimated by injuries at the linebacker position. The Falcons looked legit in Week 1 and against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but that’s about it.. (2-4). . Atlanta Falcons. 24. team
