ATLANTA – Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is the top signal caller for the franchise, and that should not come as a surprise. NFL Nation reporter Vaughn McClure and fans voted between the top quarterbacks of the franchise and determined that Matty Ice was in a league of his own, followed by Michael

If failure is the key to success, Matt Ryan is destined for really big things after Super Bowl 51. For Peyton Manning, it was a 3-13 season as a rookie. In the commercial, Ryan is shown walking off the field at the Super Bowl in disappointment and using the moment to hit the practice field at the Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have a tortured history. For decades their fans suffered through insufferable mediocrity. But year after year, the fans came back. They kept filling the seats and the Falcons made sure there were plenty of losses in the win-loss column. Then the 2000s came. Michael Vick electrified

Devonta Freeman is having a hard time letting go of the Atlanta Falcons’ Super Bowl LI loss to the New England Patriots, and that includes what he perceives as his own lost chance at winning MVP of the game. “I hate to go there, but I was supposed to be the MVP this year of the Super Bowl

It’s been nearly four months since the Atlanta Falcons blew the biggest lead in Super Bowl history, but fans probably won’t stop talking about the epic collapse for years. It was completely baffling and hard to believe, knowing just how dominant the Falcons had been for nearly three quarters

Takkarist McKinley was raised by his grandmother, and he promised just before she died that he’d make it to a Division I football team. Having achieved that—and then some—the UCLA defensive end brought a photo of his grandmother to the stage after his selection by the Falcons with the 26th pick; he then launched into…

The Atlanta Falcons will ostensibly begin play this fall in their new stadium (with its eight-petal retractable roof, which Drew referred to as “Megatron’s Butthole” and now I cannot think of it any other way). Except: the stadium was supposed to be open by now. But it wasn’t ready, so they pushed it back. Then they…

Much of the blame for the Falcons’ monumental choke job in Super Bowl 51 fell on Kyle Shanahan for his aggressive play-calling, and that’s fair. It’s screamingly obvious Atlanta should have run the ball more or milked the clock to keep Tom Brady and the Patriots from even having a chance to storm all the way back. But…

Even after all the replays and photos, it’s still hard to believe that Julian Edelman made that catch.

Super Bowl LI was an incredible game that featured a historic comeback and two of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history. But you might not get a sense of how bonkers the Patriots’ unholy comeback was from watching the limp highlight reel that FOX played at the end of the game. If you want the good shit, Austria’s…

Steve Sarkisian will be the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator as the team attempts to move forward from its incredible Super Bowl loss and convince NFL fans that the team shouldn’t be excommunicated from the league.

Julian Edelman made a ludicrous catch last night, going to the ground to keep the ball while being tackled by three Falcons defenders, but he wasn’t the only receiver on the field making impossible catches when his team needed them most.

You’ve watched enough football games to understand what’s supposed to happen when a team is up 28-12 and has the ball with 9:40 left to play. They run the ball as much as they can, they squeeze every second out of the game clock, and they win the goddamn game.

So, there it is, right there in the above photo. One inch, maybe two, between football and turf? Some barely countable fraction of a second that felt like it took forever as the ball hung, seemingly unmoored from gravity, precisely long enough for Julian Edelman to double-clutch. An instantly iconic catch, equal parts…

James White’s touchdown in overtime gave the Patriots their fifth NFL title and ended one of the wildest Super Bowls in history. Here’s how that championship-winning play sounded on nine different broadcasts, including, in order: Fox, Fox Deportes, Patriots radio, Falcons radio, BBC Radio 5, Westwood One Radio,…

If there was a sequence where the Falcons lost this game (in actuality it was every single drive after New England got the ball with 8:31 left in the third quarter, as the Patriots scored on every one of their remaining possessions—all five of them—while the Falcons couldn’t muster another point) it was the plays…

We all know what happened in the end, but let’s not forget that before orchestrating an instantly-legendary comeback against the Atlanta Falcons and proving that freedom’s enemies will always thrive in 2017, Tom Brady spent the Super Bowl playing like a god damn jamoke, to the joy of millions. With just over two…

As it turns out, today’s Super Bowl match-up involves the NFL’s top two teams in terms of paid patriotism—those all-American displays paid for by the military without being advertised as such.

Patriots-Falcons in Super Bowl 51 is being billed as a showcase of the NFL’s two most prolific offenses, at the height of their powers. The Patriots, of course, are the known entity: Tom Brady and [insert name here] on offense, along with a defense that frequently schemes its way into being greater than the sum of its…

Kyle Shanahan is about to coach in the biggest game of his career. He might need his playbook this weekend, but he lost it after the backpack he was carrying it around in at NFL media day got nabbed! Who could have pulled off such a dastardly caper?

Although the Atlanta Falcons’ 44-21 blowout of the Green Bay Packers wasn’t competitive, Julio Jones kept it entertaining. The wide receiver racked up 180 yards with two touchdowns Sunday as he humiliated the Packers’ defense.

After the Falcons scored a touchdown on their opening drive, the Packers responded by missing a field goal, and things didn’t change so much from there. The 24-0 lead the Falcons took into the locker room was the largest deficit that Aaron Rodgers has ever faced at halftime. An already struggling defense was hurt more…

There is a bar in Atlanta called Park Tavern that will be hosting a pep rally for Packers fans the day before the NFC championship game.

Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are the household names powering the NFL’s highest-scoring and most efficient offense. But the Falcons wouldn’t be hosting the Packers with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line without equally significant contributions from running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Atlanta really does…
