Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days. To get us through the offseason, we’ll be taking a closer look at every team in the league, in order of projected 2023 win totals. Up next: the Falcons.
The Falcons play in a stadium named for a car company. It’s fitting, because for the last five years, they’ve been stuck in neutral.
Atlanta hasn’t made the playoffs since 2017 and in the ensuing campaigns has won exactly seven games four times. The Falcons are still trying to find their way, with third-year coach Arthur Smith looking to take the next step in a winnable NFC South.

It’s unorthodox for an NFL QB to come out and endorse magical mushrooms or ayahuasca.
The Celtics, Grizzlies, and Wizards pulled off a stunning three-team trade late Wednesday night that had big names on the move and had Boston fans feeling bummed out after learning one of their favorite players was a part of the blockbuster deal.

Will Bijan Robinson be a one-man backfield or part of a rotation? While Robinson should be the featured back in the Falcons offense by the end of the year, look for Tyler Allgeier to still get plenty of snaps throughout the season.
Wyndham Clark was tied atop the leaderboard alongside Rickie Fowler heading into Sunday’s final round at the U.S. Open, but was the forgotten man. Add the fact that Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler were playing the role of chaser, and not many people were talking about Clark, and he noticed it.
Speaking with Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio reflecting on his one-shot win at Los Angeles Country Club, Clark was refreshingly honest about the entire experience.

This year’s All-Underrated team is back, better than ever and comprises many non-premium-position players. This isn’t a list of punt gunners, but it is a celebration of the notably unsexy. I was texting with one coach as I was putting this list together, wondering how we don’t have an adequate way to measure how well someone simply does what they’re told, and within that system developing their own kind of structured greatness that is good for the team as a whole.
San Diego State and SMU are reportedly gearing up to make the jump to the PAC-12.
The west coast P5 conference is doing its best to stay above water as commissioner George Kliavkoff attempts to land a new media deal.
So far, no deal has been reached, and it’s unclear if there’s a deal to be made. There’s also serious concerns the Big 12 will try to poach PAC-12 programs.
The program that seems to be on the shakiest ground is Colorado. In an attempt to shore up any weakness, the PAC-12 has been looking at expansion options.
The Detroit Lions might have successfully created the ugliest helmets in the NFL.
The franchise unveiled a new alternate helmet Wednesday that will celebrate 90 years of Detroit Lions football and will be worn with the team’s all-gray alternate uniforms.
There’s just one major problem:

The Detroit Lions unveil terrible helmets.
The San Francisco 49ers might not be able to trade Trey Lance even if the team wants to move the QB.
The 49ers currently have a packed QB room with Lance, Sam Darnold and Brock Purdy, who is still working his way back from a UCL injury.
Despite taking Lance third overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, the former North Dakota State star has failed to meet expectations so far. He spent 2021 seeing little playing time and only started two games last season before getting hurt.
The Wizards are completing a three-way deal with the Celtics and Grizzlies that will send Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies, Kristaps Porzingis to the Celtics and Tyus Jones to the Wizards, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
