The Atlanta Falcons’ roster is starting to look very different than it did a year ago. Not only is former league MVP Matt Ryan gone after 14 seasons as the starting quarterback, the Falcons added two new starting wide receivers, multiple edge rushers and a Pro Bowl cornerback.

The NFL released its initial schedule for the 2022 season last week, but there were a few dates that had yet to be announced, including Atlanta’s preseason game against Jacksonville.

On Wednesday, the Falcons announced the date and time for their final exhibition matchup, along with joint practice dates with the Jaguars. Check out that and more in our Wednesday recap.

The Atlanta Falcons opted to play their starters during Monday night’s preseason game against the New York Jets and it didn’t take long for TE Kyle Pitts to take advantage of the Jets’ backups.

However, Atlanta blew a 16-point first-half lead and New York came back to win 24-16. Here are five takeaways from Monday’s prime-time preseason matchup.
