Anyone who watched that defense during the season and came away with "still garbage all year" must have had their eyes closed.

They were a young defense that grew over the course of the year. Opportunistic and fast.

They were blowing people out offensively and defensively at the end of the year

Since week 10?
Not really, They played well against the Cardinals and Panthers sure but the Saints but up 473 yards on them and the Chiefs put up a ton too.

Please don't bring up the 49ers and Rams. The worst two offenses in the league. Please go look at what they did to other teams.

The Saints had 13 points going into the 4th quarter. Saints scored 2 TDs in the last 3 minutes of the game to make it look respectable.

Their defense gave up 20 points to the Chiefs, who scored on a defensive TD and a 2 point conversion return.

So yea, since week 10

Not surprisingly, the Falcons defense as a whole has gotten better as the season progressed. Much better, in fact. After allowing 28.3 points a game in the 10 outings before their bye, they’ve given up 20.4 points an outing since. Their total takeaways are up from 11 to 13 and their passer rating allowed has gone from nearly 101 to under 78.

quote:
That success has continued in the playoffs: When facing a pair of dangerous offenses led by Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, Atlanta surrendered 20 and 21 points to Seattle and Green Bay, respectively. Altogether, only one team (the Saints) scored more than three touchdowns against the Falcons in the last month and a half.
