The Atlanta Falcons don’t have the longevity of teams like the Green Bay Packers or the Chicago Bears. They don’t have the championships like the New England Patriots or the Pittsburgh Steelers. They don’t have the moniker of “America’s Team” like the Dallas Cowboys.
Let’s face it, the Falcons are just your regular old football team. For the longest time, they didn’t have the flashiest players, all-time great coaches and players or the mystiques of places like the Oakland Raiders have with the Black Hole or the Browns with the Dog Pound.
While it is hard to put the Atlanta Falcons with those franchises when it comes to their legacy and prestige, the Falcons fans have a lot to be proud of and thankful for.
