The Falcons continue their string of NFC play with a faceoff against the Washington Commanders this weekend. This series has been the tale of two differing time periods, in which each team has landed some level of dominance over the other. As of today, however, Washington owns the series history lead with a 16-10-1 mark.
Atlanta could be envious of the team-that-once-had-a-different-name’s success throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, as they made the playoffs five times in each decade and registered seven winning seasons in the ‘80s alone, including two Super Bowl wins and four overall Super Bowl appearances over that 20-year stretch.
