Beyond strictly looking at wins and losses, DVOA by Football Outsiders gives a clear picture of team performance.

The following Infographic shows the past 10 years of DVOA rankings (2008-2017) for the Atlanta Falcons.

The Falcons had early career success behind Matt Ryan and nearly reached the Super Bowl in Julio Jones' second season before dropping down again. Mike Smith was fired and the Falcons nearly won the Super Bowl in Dan Quinn's second season as they ranked third in DVOA.

The Falcons then dropped to 15th after losing Kyle Shanahan to the 49ers, but they remained a playoff team.

Julio Jones and Under Armour have mutually parted ways despite having a year remaining on the deal.

Jones was spotted wearing Air Jordans on Friday.

Sources told ESPN that he looked around and still felt more comfortable in his Under Armour shoes. Because Jones is no longer being paid by the brand, he can cover up the interlocking UA logo if he chooses not to give the brand free advertising.

The Atlanta Falcons struggled in the red zone last season and Julio Jones is aiming to turn that around.

"It's very important for me and Matt (Ryan) to be on the same page down there in the red zone," Jones said. "Over the years, I have the ability to make plays, and he has the ability to put balls there. But it's all about us being on the same page, not having to think when we get down there, knowing where he's going to put the ball, and knowing what I can do before he puts the ball in there."

Jones caught just three touchdowns in 2017.

The Falcons finished 23rd in the NFL in red zone scoring, per Football Outsiders. They converted just 50 percent of their red-area drives into touchdowns.

The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a three-year, $19.5 million contract extension with Ricardo Allen, according to a source.

A fifth-round pick back in 2014, Allen signed a $2.914 million second-round restricted-free-agent tender this offseason.

The safety started 45 games the past three seasons, playing 2,748 defensive snaps.
