The #Falcons are allowing the sixth lowest opponent QB pressure rate (6.8%) in the league so far this season. C Ryan Ne Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Atlanta's protection mark sits at 6.8% through the early-season sample. Center Ryan Neuzil's 2.2% rate clears the 80-pass-block qualifying line.

Why it matters: Sustained interior protection widens the playbook on early downs and third down. Centers who stay near the league low stabilize snaps and assignments across the line.

By the numbers: Atlanta Falcons — 6.8% opponent QB pressure rate (6th lowest). Ryan Neuzil — 2.2% opponent QB pressure rate (5th lowest, min. 80 pass blocks).

What to watch: Watch whether the interior rate holds as blitz-heavy fronts rotate through the schedule.
