In 2017, the Atlanta Falcons faced all four teams from the AFC East. They were only able to defeat one of the four teams, the New York Jets, 25-20. They lost to the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and New England Patriots.
In 2018, in four games against the AFC North, the Atlanta Falcons were outscored 132-85, finishing with an 0-4 record.
To say that the Atlanta Falcons recent history against AFC foes has been ugly would be an understatement. With so many ugly losses over the last two seasons, it’s not hard to see why the team has failed to get back to the Super Bowl.
