The squad will begin their third campaign in the still-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where they look to be playing at home during the Super Bowl.
Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule
Falcons owner Arthur Blank has invested heavily in the team’s offense, hoping that the triad of quarterback Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley can score early and often in the 2019 season.

lThe team has also shored up defensive and offensive lines, which both struggled at times last season.
Julio Jones, Muhammad Sanu and Devante Freeman will all be back and looking to reignite the firepower that was No. 1 in the league third seasons ago.
Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule
The Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule will be a real test for the Birds, especially at home. This is already one of the toughest NFL schedules for 2019.
Week 1: Atlanta Falcons vs. Minnesota Vikings 12-28
The Falcons opened the season with a crushing loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Ryan threw for 302 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Falcons running backs amassed 73 yards and Julio Jones was held to 31 yards.
Week 2: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles 24-20
Matt Ryan threw for 320 yards and had three touchdowns and three interceptions as the Falcons survived the Eagles in week 2. Julio Jones had 106 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions.
Meanwhile, Devonta Freeman was held to 22 yards on 11 carries.
Week 3: Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts 24-27
The Falcons lost for the second time in three weeks, falling to Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts, 24-27.
Matt Ryan threw for 304 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception, but it was a crucial pick deep in Colts territory that would have surely led to some points.
After a terrible first half, Ryan connected on 23 of 24 passes, but the Colts did just enough to win.
Week 4: Atlanta Falcons vs. Tennessee Titans
The Falcons entered week 4 with a sloppy resume on offense and defense. The team is still seeking its identity and a path to victory after falling in the NFC South.

Donald Glover may have stepped away from his FX hit “Atlanta,” but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been busy. The AtlantaFX singer and actor Donald Glover recently released “Guava Island” featuring Rihanna. The movie has gotten mixed reviews.
The original movie, streaming for Amazon, has gotten mixed reviews from fans and critics alike.
Atlanta’s Donald Glover stars in Amazon’s ‘Guava Island’
The film was shown at the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Glover, or rather his musical alter ego, Childish Gambino, headlined the event.
Glover stars as Deni Maroon, a music star on a tropical island. He’s in a relationship with Rihanna, who plays Kofi Novia, a woman who works in the textile plant, basically a sweat shop.
Watch ‘Guava Island’ on Amazon Prime here
The film also stars Letitia Wright, who picks up from her turn in “Black Panther,” to play Kofi’s co-worker and best mate Yara. Reviews have been nothing to praise-worthy for her.
“Guava Island” was directed by Hiro Murai, who helms “Atlanta.” The movie was filmed over a short period of time in Cuba.
The movie has a number of Childish Gambino songs old and new, including an alternate version of “This is America.”
Donc Guava Island donne encore plus de sens et un nouveau contexte à "This is America" presque un an après la sortie du morceau. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/5iGbLiW3UW

Judging from fans’ reactions, “Guava Island” missed the boat on a few things: Many people thought it was self-aggrandizing and even a disappointment.Many others left feeling like “Was it a musical?” or “Was this a 55-minute music video?”We won’t reveal any spoilers here, but suffice to say that this was simply a delicious visual treatment that Glover and Murai wanted to get out creatively. That expression manifested itself in “Guava Island” this year. Next year or the next project, it will be something else entirely. And that much, we can be sure of.Atlanta is connected to so many movies these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all.
