The Atlanta Falcons were founded in 1965 as an NFL expansion team. Atlanta businessman and philanthropist Rankin Smith was offered the chance to start a team in the NFL to stop him from founding a team in the competing American Football League.
Since then the Falcons have won two NFC championships, six divisional titles and appeared in the playoffs 14 times. The Falcons were defeated in both Super Bowls they’ve played in, losing to John Elway’s Broncos in 1998 and Tom Brady’s Patriots in 2016.
The Falcons’ best season was in 2016, when they won the NFC Championship, put up a franchise record 540 points, and saw Matt Ryan voted in as the league’s MVP. The franchise’s most recognizable players include Julio Jones, Deion Sanders, Tony Gonzalez, and Matt Ryan.
