The Falcons were first created in 1966 as an expansion team of the NFL and currently the team is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
In the late 1970’s the Falcons participated in their first playoff series as they won a wild card entry but unfortunately they lost to the Cowboys.
During the Falcons’ 42 active seasons they have a record of 262 wins, 386 loses and 6 ties. The team has won 3 division titles and 1 conference championship in 1998; year in which they appeared for the first and only time to date in a Super Bowl and lost against the Denver Broncos.
Among their most accomplished players we can find: Eric Dickerson, Tommy McDonald, Jeff Van Note, Jessie Tuggle and Mike Kenn.
Most recently, during the 2007 campaign the Falcons finished with a disappointing record of 4-12, and a 4th place in the NFC South. Additionally, that same season they had to deal with the controversy caused by their former quarterback Michael Vick due to an illegal dog fighting implication which led to his resignation as well as that of head coach Bobby Petrino.
