Atlanta Falcons All - Time Team

The Minnesota Vikings play the Atlanta Falcons tomorrow. The Falcons have been more afterthought than contender for most of their 58 years. The past 25 years have been much better than the previous 33. Their highlights are two Super Bowl appearances. They lucked into an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIII. They watched a 28-3 second half lead evaporate in Super Bowl LI. On the eve of the big game, here are some of the best players in the franchise history of the Atlanta Falcons.
