Falcons’ Chris Lindstrom was PFF’s highest-graded player in 2022

Chris Lindstrom Falcons PFF Atlanta (Organization) Football

The Atlanta Falcons had a tough season, finishing 7-10 for the second year in a row and missing the playoffs for a fifth straight season. While the team’s struggles were to be expected, Atlanta made incredible progress in the ground game.

The Falcons rushed for 2,718 yards in 2022, averaging 159.9 yards per game and 4.9 yards per carry. More importantly, the success of the running game gave this team a much-needed identity.
