The Atlanta Falcons were founded in 1965 in Atlanta, Georgia. Known also as the Dirty Birds, the franchise plays home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and is headquartered in Flowery Branch, Georgia. Arthur Blank owns the club, with Ian Cunningham serving as general manager and Kevin Stefanski as head coach. The Falcons reached the Super Bowl following an 11–5 campaign in 2016, part of a stretch that included playoff appearances in 2010 (13–3), 2016, and 2017 (10–6). The years since have been leaner—the team posted 7–10 records in 2021, 2022, and 2023 before going 8–9 in both 2024 and 2025. The current roster features quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, running backs Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson, and pass-catchers Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Jahan Dotson. On defense, edge rusher James Pearce Jr., linebacker Jalon Walker, and Za'Darius Smith anchor the front, while veteran kicker Nick Folk handles placekicking duties.
