The Atlanta Falcons!

One of the greats in football history, the Atlanta Falcons have a long and vivid history behind them and the kind of legacy that they have left behind for generations of footballers to come. The show kicked off in the year of 1965, in June when the National Football League or the NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle finally granted the possession of the team to Rankin Smith Sr. The team was given the first pick in the 1966 NFL Draft. Not only that they were also awarded the prize of the final pick in the first five rounds. The team took in all-American linebacker Tommy Nobis who hailed from the University of Texas in the first Draft pick. Therefore he is the first ever Atlanta Falcon to be created. In the 1966 NFL Expansion Draft, further players were selected from other enterprises.

The Falcons had many sets of uniforms. In 1966 they had re helmets with black or white jerseys and white pants. In 197i, the team switched to red jerseys and in 1978 they started wearing silver pants. In 1990, the uniform was silver pants with black helmets but in 2003 there was a sea change in both uniforms as well as logo. Now the falcon was red and silver and looked more aggressive. They now had black helmets, with the jerseys and the pants having a red trim on the sides. The jerseys and pants were now either black and white. The current owner of the CEO of the Atlanta Falcons is Arthur Blank and the president is Rich McKay. The head coach is Mike Smith while the assistant to him is Emmitt Thomas.

The fist season for the Atlanta Falcons was in the year of 1966 and their first pre-season game was held on the 1st of August, 1966, where the team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. They lost the first nine season games and then had the first win against the New York Giants. They had only 12 wins in the decade of the 1960s. The first ever season where the Atlanta Falcons has had a winning record was that of 1971. The arguably best season of the Atlanta Falcons is supposed to be in 1998 where they were led by quarterback Chris Chandler and Jamal Anderson. In November, they won with a margin of 41-10 over the New England Patriots and finally broke the jinx of 22 consecutive defeats. The Falcons ended with a 14-2 season record and also won the NFC Championship. On January 18, 1999, the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Vikings at Minnesota in the NFC Championship with a margin of 30-27.
