No, this is not a dream. The Atlanta Falcons are one win away from a Super Bowl championship. After an 11-5 record, multiple injuries to key starters/role players, a season full of doubt, and a playoff setting featuring two NFC giants, the Falcons find themselves here.
For Atlanta, this is just their second appearance on the NFL’s biggest stage, their first in the new century. In their only other Super Bowl trip, the Falcons lost to the Denver Broncos after the 1998 season in Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami.
The only barrier in the way of this Falcons squad is the standard bearer of the NFL.
