YOUR TEAM, YOUR HISTORY

The Falcons joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1966.  Over the years, the Falcons have fielded exciting teams that have supplied a fair share of memorable moments.  Atlanta registered its first winning season in 1971 and first division title in 1980.  Perhaps the pinnacle of success for the Falcons came in 1998 when Atlanta won the NFC championship and earned a berth in Super Bowl XXXIII.
