@Join me on GAB at: JackTanner I don't know, I think that Falcons team has been given the short end: A 3,000 yard passer, an 1,800 yard rusher, two 1,000 yard receivers, stuffed the run and led the league in takeaways on defense (pass defense a weakness though), and solid special teams from the likes of Tim Dwight & Morten Andersen. now, they didn't play well in the Super Bowl (the Broncos were a great team, and better on defense than given credit for), but although they struggled, at one point late in the 3rd quarter the game was 17-6 with the Falcons on offense (Chandler's pass was batted at the line, intercepted, and the Broncos scored to make it 24-6. Game over), so I think it's a matter that they were outplayed and didn't play their best vs. not belonging in the game at all. I always felt the Falcons were "blamed" some for the Super Bowl not being a Broncos-Vikings dream match-up. I'd say that's on the Vikings not having the killer instinct when having 20-7 & 27-17 leads (forget the Gary Anderson miss for a second) and the Vikings defense having numerous chances to end the Falcons final regulation drive. Credit the Falcons for keeping the pressure on as well, so they had to be worth something. I find the 1996-98 Falcons interesting to look at for at least this other reason: between the 1996 season to the first half of 1997, the Falcons went 4-20. In the second half of 1997 to the full 1998 season, the Falcons went 20-4. One way to look at it is that they managed to go 40-40 in the regular season between 1993-98, but the other is that the Falcons began their turnaround in 1997 and it continued into 1998.
I'd say the title of one year wonder goes to the 1994 Chargers: that team had a lot of wild wins and plays that don't ordinarily happen to one team over one season. I like them and they were solid, but I feel they were a shaky Super Bowl team.
I know it wasn’t the 90’s anymore, but the 2001 Bears were a notorious one year wonder. They had that freak fourth quarter comeback win against the Browns and got by with Jim Miller and Shane Matthews at QB. Of course, Brian Urlacher was at his best on defense.
It's 2021 week 1 in the NFL and I'm sitting here watching this from 1998 Lol
same
back when the nfl still had viscous hits that were part of the game.
That Giants-Eagles ticket joke from Berman was vicious.
Thank you so much for uploading this.
Yes brings back memories of my youth 🤔
Atlanta could've just as easily been a 9-7 team as 14-2. They won so many squeakers that year. The biggest one year wonder of the 90s.

The Terance Mathis/Johnny Mathis reference is GENIUS!
"The two worst offenses in football gathered to exchange pleasantries."
“WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?! Wait a minute, Pisarcik in late- IT'S A FUMBLE!”
