Falcons Twitter reacts to 2023 schedule release
When the Atlanta Falcons’ 2023 schedule dropped on Thursday night, the first thing fans noticed was that there was not a single prime-time matchup. This could potentially change since two of Atlanta’s games were not given a specific date or time — Week 15 and Week 18 — but for now, nearly every game starts at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Still, the early portion of the schedule has many fans eyeing a return to the postseason. With a fast start, the Falcons could very well end their current five-year playoff drought. Here’s how Twitter reacted to Atlanta’s 2023 regular-season slate.
If you're a Falcons fans who doesn't like to stay up late there's a lot to like about this schedule https://t.co/h66F0qvWje
