Bio: The Atlanta Falcons have been an NFC contender ever since head coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan came together in 2008. To begin their tenure, Smith and Ryan constructed five straight winning seasons, 2 divisional titles and three playoff appearances.

The story changed this year. The team regressed as a result of injuries and a depleted roster, going 4-12 and failing to impress all season. However, with a great coaching staff and a lot of talent on offence the Falcons should return to contention straight away. They are known as a pass-first team, sporting great wide receiver talent in Julio Jones and Roddy White.

Atlanta is not one of the more popular teams in the nation, and their fan base lacks the intensity of others. They also have a lack of personality in the team. Much like the Patriots, they keep themselves quiet and rarely make headlines.
