Over 3,000 yards for 2 back is a season , played in 1972 with a shorter season. Wow 17 td’s they need to be talked about more . Dave hampton needs to be in the hall of fame
Losing at New England on a last second missed chip shot FG? That was so “Falcon”. But there would be an infinitely more painful loss to NE 45 years later 😣
Yep, and two other losses were almost as painful - both to the Cowboys in '78 & '80....The '17 SB was setting up to exorcise all the previous season's of frustration away, but because they're the Falcons....
Number 43 my grandpa . Dave hampton . First Atlanta falcon to rush for over 1,000 yards
This is awesome to watch. Such a different game back then.
Loved those Falcons of 72' 🏈

Dave ended up with 1,000 yard rushing season, a season or 2 later
1972 Falcons got their first ever victory over the Rams
Wish the color was better but it will work!
Typical Atlanta team, get off to a hot start in a game or season then choke at the end.
Dave Hampton got 1000 then lost it
Mike, we remember Dave's yards against KC....the win against the rams is what moved us forward for the future....to this very day....
Dave ended up gettin a 1,000 yards a season or 2 later . That’s my gpa
