The Atlanta Falcons, an American Football team located in Georgia’s largest city, formed part of the National Football League (NFL) as members of their southernmost division-the NFC South. The NFL invited Rankin Smith to develop a franchise when they realized he was considering joining a rival league, AFL. This marked the Falcon’s entrance into professional football in 1965 and solidified them as one of the American sport’s most iconic teams.
Some notable players in the team’s history include Steve Bartkowski, Deion Sanders, and Matt Ryan. The Falcons play their home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The team is known for its strong defense and high-scoring offense and has a dedicated fan base in the Atlanta area.
