Training camp is on the horizon for the Atlanta Falcons<\/a>. While waiting, Last Word on Pro Football<\/a> is analyzing the schedules of all 32 NFL teams. It will be split into two categories: the most difficult games (1-9) and the easiest (10-17). Let\u2019s dive into the most difficult games on the Atlanta Falcons schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atlanta Falcons Easiest Games<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Most Difficult Games on 2022 Atlanta Falcons Schedule<\/span><\/h2>\n

1) Week 2: @ Los Angeles Rams<\/span><\/h3>\n

There will be a season where the Falcons don\u2019t have to play the defending champions in the first two weeks. However, 2022 is not going to be that season. After an early test against the Buffalo Bills<\/a>, the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> get to either take out their frustrations or create momentum against the lesser roster of the Atlanta Falcons. A laborious early test for the new regime as the Rams look to run it back for another championship. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough to make it one of the most difficult games for the Atlanta Falcons, it’s also on the west coast. That should be a fun flight back home.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Week 5: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/span><\/h3>\n

The timing of this game is horrible. Tampa Bay<\/a> has two crucial games against the Green Bay Packers<\/a> and Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>. Essentially, forcing them to gel together quickly. This will not be hard given their roster continuity over the past two years. Especially that one itch that the Falcons can\u2019t scratch at quarterback. Either way, Atlanta will have to weather a championship contender early in their schedule. Last year, that task <\/span>did not end well<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for the boys in red and black.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Week 9: vs. Los Angeles Chargers<\/span><\/h3>\n

At least the Falcons don\u2019t have to leave for this one. The Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> come in after a bye week. That\u2019s not enough? That\u2019s fine. They had one of their best off-seasons as they added Khalil Mack<\/a> to their roster to play opposite Joey Bosa<\/a>. Still not enough? There are also the additions of Kyle Van Noy and, more importantly, J.C. Jackson<\/a> solidifying their defense. Let\u2019s hope that this defense can get some more pressure on Justin Herbert and stop Austin Ekeler on the ground. However, there is an upside to this game. Former Atlanta Falcon Pro-Bowler Josh Harris<\/a> is back in town! Josh Harris, the long-snapper. It\u2019s fine. We\u2019ll move on.<\/span><\/p>\n
