That’s not the case for the Falcons, though, and to make it worse, this London matchup with an unnamed opponent will count as a home game for Atlanta, even though it isn’t one. Let’s see how Falcons Twitter reacted to Thursday’s news.

Having to travel to another country and sleep in a hotel is dubbed as an away game imo. — Falcons Kingdom (@FalconsKingdom) April 2, 2021 THIS IS THE BEST NEWS THAT COULD HAVE COME OUT TODAY!
