1. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons should have been a lot better than they were in 2025. The team has one of the best defenses in football, an above-average offensive line, and one of the game’s better young receivers in former top-10 pick Drake London. Even with second-year quarterback Michael Penix struggling and eventually tearing his ACL, a decent coach would have found a way to win this weak division.
Unfortunately, Raheem Morris couldn’t get the job done, and the Falcons spent the back half of the season out of playoff contention. While the team doesn’t have a clear answer at quarterback, a coach like John Harbaugh could get this team into the playoffs as soon as next year.
