Falcons head coach admits Chicago Bears stole home field advantage
The Chicago Bears marched to a 31-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. At times, it was easy to forget that Chicago was playing an away game.
Bears fans packed Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with the crowd audibly getting louder when the franchise succeeded. Falcons fans did rally back when their team cut the lead to one-score. But for most of the matchup, Atlanta was drowned out by a sea of fans decked out in blue and orange apparel.
The lack of home field advantage was noticeable for the Falcons in the box score as well. Chicago held the ball for 40:08 compared to 19:52 for Atlanta. Furthermore, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and company went just 3-of-12 on third down.
Part of the reason the Falcons struggled in that regard was because they had to change up their cadence. With Atlanta sounding more like Soldier Field, Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski had to change up his strategy.

With Caleb Williams set to return, Bears fans were certainly going to flock. Furthermore, with real playoff aspirations, those same fans are watching each play on the edge of their seat. Stefanski had to know there’d be at least some form of Bears contingent in the stands.
But enough to force changes is another story. Stefanski admitted the Falcons turned to a silent count on offense with how loud things got, via Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team.
“We love our fans, our fans are so supportive,” Stefanski said. “We just knew we’d likely need to be on the silent count.”

If the Bears keep winning, the noise will only get louder no matter what city they’re in. And if the noise continues giving Chicago an advantage, it’ll only be encouraged by the franchise further.
In Week 7, the Bears will be back at home against the New England Patriots. Head coach Mike Vrabel may be following in Stefanski’s footsteps seeing how loud Chicago can be.
