Some franchise records loom large in the imagination, and others do not. There’s Jessie Tuggle’s virtually untouchable tackles mark, Michael Turner’s massive scoring binge at running back, and Rolland Lawrence’s 39 interceptions, all of which have stood the test of time and seem all the more incredible in hindsight. Then there’s the lesser marks, like extra points converted and passes deflected.
This epoch in Falcons history has been defined by the way those marks have fallen, whether they be large or small. The three I mentioned above may not go by the wayside in the next decade—Turner’s is the only touchable mark on the list—but many more will fall in 2019 as the Falcons try to pick back up the success that has (mostly) defined 2008-2018.
