The Falcons travel to the Bay for a date with a former long-time division rival. From the time of their inception, the Falcons were placed in the old NFC West, and matched up for so long with the 49ers, Rams and Saints. At this point, the 49ers and Rams are the teams whom the Birds have faced off with more than any team not named the Saints.
San Francisco generally dominated this series for the most part, currently holding a 47-32-1 lead in the all time series. They jumped on Atlanta right away, winning the first five consecutive meetings.
