So, you know those throwback time machine sports Twitter accounts you only kind of half look at? Well, one of those has brought up a Falcons memory so dumbfounding and so, so heartening that it affirms what it means to be a fan of this unspeakably impossible team.
December 17, 1972 vs. @Chiefs, @AtlantaFalcons RB Dave Hampton became the first Falcon to reach 1000 yards rushing in a season. The game was stopped & he was presented with a trophy. On the next play, he lost 6 yards, never got another carry, & finished the season with 995 yds pic.
