Another season, another anemic pass rush for the Falcons.
No Falcons player has reached double-digits in sacks since John Abraham finished with 10 in 2012. The franchise has not had two players with double-digit sack totals in one season since Patrick Kerney (13) and Rod Coleman (11.5) terrorized quarterbacks in 2004.
The Falcons finished this season with an NFL-low 19 sacks. By comparison, the Falcons recorded 49 in 2004, a season that ended with an appearance in the NFC Championship game.
