Believe or not—and there are still moments, nearly 7 full months into the season, that I do not—it’s 2020. The 2010s were perhaps the most successful decade for the Falcons, with an 89-71 record that was tied for the 9th-best mark in the NFL over that span, plus a Super Bowl berth, two NFC Conference Championships, and 5 total playoff berths. Heartbreak still defined the decade—these are the Falcons, after all—but I’ll cherish a lot of the players and Atlanta teams I got to watch over the past 10 years.
Unsurprisingly, then, there are many memorable players and moments from this past decade.
