What’s your favorite Falcons - Raiders memory ever?
The Falcons and Raiders have played 14 times in total over the years, and they’ve split the series 7-7. It’s fair to say that this is not an opponent Atlanta runs into very often, and thus there are a limited number of memories to draw on for an article like this.
That said, there are still some fond ones that come readily to mind. For me, the best game and best memory for Falcons - Raiders came on a November day way back in 2008, Matt Ryan’s first season in the NFL. That matchup pitted them against the truly abysmal JaMarcus Russell, who came into the game having thrown 7 touchdowns against 3 interceptions, but a lot of poor completion percentages and one 55 yard day on the season.
