In the 464th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, host D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution discusses the Falcons’ 2024 schedule that was released by the NFL on Wednesday.

The Falcons have four prime-time games, appearing on “Monday Night Football” twice, plus “Sunday Night Football” and “Thursday Night Football.”

The first four games of the season against the Steelers, Eagles, Chiefs and Saints will tell a lot about the team under first-year coach Raheem Morris.
