I received quite a bit of feedback indicating that we shouldn’t call this a rivalry series, because the Falcons only have a handful of true rivals. Message received, and so we’ll re-start this series with the moniker series, and dive in to this week’s opponent.
The Falcons and Washington have played 26 times in total, and Washington does lead the all-time series. When you consider the Falcons were brutally bad for much of their history and Washington was good-to-great through most of those years, that shouldn’t be a surprise.
As always, though, we’re asking what the defining moment in Washington-Atlanta history is.
