The Atlanta Falcons were founded in 1965 in Atlanta, Georgia. They play home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and are headquartered in Flowery Branch, Georgia. The franchise is owned by Arthur Blank, with Ian Cunningham serving as general manager and Kevin Stefanski as head coach. Also known as the Dirty Birds, the team reached the Super Bowl following an 11–5 campaign in 2016 and made playoff appearances in 2010 (13–3) and 2017 (10–6). Recent seasons have been more modest, with the club posting 7–10 records in 2021, 2022, and 2023 before improving slightly to 8–9 in both 2024 and 2025. The current roster features quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr., Cooper Rush, and Tua Tagovailoa, running backs Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson, and pass-catchers Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Jahan Dotson, and Austin Hooper, along with edge rushers James Pearce Jr. and Za'Darius Smith.
