From 1998 on, the Atlanta Falcons have enjoyed a run of success unparalleled in franchise history. After posting just seven winning seasons and four playoff berths in the first 31 years the team was around, they collected 10 winning seasons and nine playoff berths in just over two decades, including both of the franchise’s Super Bowl visits. A Falcons fan in 2018 might have thought that the disappointing year the team had just suffered through would be a relatively short-term blip; in the span I’m mentioning here, Atlanta had never had more than three losing seasons in a row.
