Survey: the Atlanta Falcons are America's 12th favorite team

The Atlanta Falcons don't get a lot of credit from the national media. It's a reality we've all come to accept. In fact, we often embrace that underdog status. But that said, it appears that from a popularity standpoint, the Falcons are, like the Jeffersons, movin' on up.

In this year's Harris Poll gauging the popularity of NFL teams, the Falcons ranked 12th, a double-digit jump from last season. Huzzah!

There have been a total of 15 Harris Polls taken since 1998 and the Cowboys have been voted No. 1 in 10 of those.
