History
2014
The 2014 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 1st season in the National Football League. In their first year, the Falcons had the best record in the NFC, winning the NFC South title. Head Coach randye4 and general manager tctykilla both won awards for the top head coach and top general manager in the league, but the Falcons were bounced out in the first round of the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers. It was a fantastic first season, and the Falcons would look to build off of their successes heading into the future.
2015
The 2015 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 2nd season in the National Football League.

2019
The Falcons started off 2019 red hot, winning 5 straight on before receiving their first loss at the hands of division rivals Tampa Bay Bucaneers. A catastrophic injury in week 7 to quarterback A.J. Jefferson against the New York Jets led to a tough slide, as the Falcons relied on rookie Greg Shipp to lead this team's offense. In the last 11 games, the Falcons were only able to win 3, with 2 of those victories coming against the eventual NFC South Champion Carolina Panthers.
