The Atlanta Falcons needed to upgrade their defensive line and that’s exactly what they have done in the opening moments of free agency this offseason. While teams dumps buckets of cash all over free agents, the Falcons picked out defensive linemen Tyson Jackson and Paul Soliai to help anchor their defensive front in 2014.

The additions are just what the Falcons have been looking for as their front line has been weak even in the years the team has nearly made it to the Super Bowl. With a lights out offensive layout, the Falcons are now adding a tough defense to the mix and that seems to be the makeup of a champion.

Atlanta has had good teams in the past, and they seem to be leaving no hole unplugged in a quest for a Super Bowl in 2014.
