The offense has had some hiccups to start the season but showed real promise in the Falcons' Week 4 win against the Washington Commanders.
Atlanta has the No. 7 overall offense, totaling 362.8 yards per game. The Dallas Cowboys lead in that statistic with a 406.6 average. The Falcons are one of eight teams tallying at least 360 yards per game.
Again, for comparison, the Falcons were 10th overall and averaging 357.4 yards per game at this point last season.
The improvement isn't as drastic as the defense, but it's there nonetheless. The Falcons' offense was operating with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins until Week 16 last year when Atlanta switched to then-rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The unit went into the offseason knowing Penix would be its starter moving forward, meaning it had all of training camp to prepare for him behind center. Penix is going into just his eighth career start in Week 6, and there have been growing pains, such as the Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. But he rebounded well and Week 4 was his – and the Falcons' – best performance of 2025.
The key for Atlanta's offense moving forward is finding consistency.
The Falcons rank sixth in rushing yards per game (136.5) and 13th in passing yards per game. They have scored an average of 19 points against opponents this season, which ranks 26th.
Below is an overall look at where the Falcons' offense stands compared to the rest of the league.
