The Atlanta Falcons have the opportunity to head back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years. In honor of Sunday’s match-up, we’re going to re-visit the original “Dirty Birds” and their 1998 NFC Championship Game win.
There’s actually a few similarities between the 1998 NFC title game and the one to be played on Sunday. Both games feature the Atlanta Falcons taking on the best from what is now known as the NFC North division. Both games also featured the most prolific offense from their respective NFL regular seasons. Back in 1998, it was the Minnesota Vikings that brought the best scoring offense.
