The Atlanta Falcons are headed back to their home.

The Atlanta Falcons have had an absolute roller coaster of a start to the season, looking about as bad as a team could look the first two weeks of the year before absolutely ramping things up the last two weeks.

Unfortunately for the home fans, they have only gotten the chance to see this team one time, and it was during the first half of the four games and one of their worst defeats in years. Since Michael Penix Jr. has returned though, this has been a different unit on both sides of the ball than the ones who were beaten down 34-3 at the hands of the Carolina Panthers in Week 2.

As Atlanta returns to Mercedes-Benz Stadium this weekend for a Sunday Night showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, there will be a different energy in the crowd than the one they saw two weeks ago. With new hope and new life, there will also be a Red Out in the crowd, and on Wednesday, the face of the franchise in Bijan Robinson said he simply cannot wait to see it.

Robinson Very Excited for Falcons Red Out

"It's gonna be huge man, I hope the stadium is packed out with all the red," Robinson said. "Bring that energy, bring that juice Sunday night. I know it's gonna be a fun atmosphere...but it's our job to give the fans what they came to see, and I'm really excited for it."

Robinson and the rest of the team clearly knows that they owe their fans a much better showing than they gave them two weeks ago after being embarrassed by a hated rival. Since Penix has come back into the fold though, not only is this offense humming, but the defense has been making life extremely difficult for opposing offenses.

With a rushing defense that has been the best in football by far and a rushing attack that is absolutely running it down teams throats, it's a winning formula the Falcons are going to continue to lean on. That formula has only gotten to be seen on the road the last two weeks though, and now fans cannot wait to see a very different effort than they saw in Week 2.

The players feed off that energy, and no one encapsulates that more than Robinson. If Atlanta can hold up its end of the bargain, they will be rewarded by a crowd that is making a ton of noise for the entire night.

If he can get it going early, that would certainly be a great start to making that happen.
