1999 Atlanta Falcons season


The 1999 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise’s 34th in the National Football League. The Falcons were unable to match their previous season’s output of 14–2, failed to reach the playoffs and therefore would not be the first team to host and play in the Super Bowl. The Falcons and Broncos had a 11–21 record between them which is the worst record between the two Super Bowl teams the next year until the Raiders and Buccaneers in 2003 matched that with 4–12 and 7–9 records.
The season saw star running back Jamal Anderson hurt his knee in Week 2 and be subsequently placed on IR, ending his season and any hope of the Falcons matching the 1998 form. The injury that Anderson suffered was career-threatening.
