2014 Atlanta Falcons season

The 2014 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 1st season in the National Football League. In their first year, the Falcons had the best record in the NFC, winning the NFC South title. Head Coach randye4 and general manager tctykilla both won awards for the top head coach and top general manager in the league, but the Falcons were bounced out in the first round of the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers. 
In this first season, the Falcons had 2 All-Pros, David Wilburn and R.C. Rone. Selected to the 2014 Pro Bowl from the Falcons were Wilburn, Rone, tackle Jason Kelly and defensive end Blair Kopay.
