# Will Kevin Stefanski's Falcons offense be more pass-heavy in 2026 after being bottom-five in pass rate last year?

Yes, it's very likely we'll see a significant pass-rate bump in Atlanta. Here's the breakdown:

**The numbers:** Atlanta ranked bottom-five in pass rate at **55.9%** in 2025. By contrast, Kevin Stefanski's 2025 Browns offense finished **8th in pass rate at 62.2%** — even with shaky QB play (from the Kevin Stefanski page). That's a massive gap.

**The scheme:** Stefanski runs a run-heavy *play-action* offense — he's not airing it out 40 times a game — but the wiki explicitly states there **"should be a pass-rate bump for Atlanta."** His system centers on quick-strike passing and play-action integration, and he's inheriting elite weapons in Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts, plus a QB competition between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. (both pass-first QBs).

**One note of caution:** On the Mayo Media Network, an analyst pointed out that Stefanski is "getting a lot of benefit of the doubt for someone who's led the 32nd and 31st ranked scoring offenses these last 2 years" — so the pass-rate bump doesn't guarantee scoring efficiency. But volume-wise, expect the Falcons to throw more than they did in 2025.
