 PROFILE
The Atlanta Falcons were more like carrion crows last season. After winning the NFC Championship in 1998 (but losing Super Bowl XXXIII), the Falcons plunged to a 5-11 record in 1999, thanks in part to the loss of star running back Jamal Anderson to a knee injury. Anderson was back in 2000 but the Falcons didn't do much better that year under head coach Dan Reeves, despite the fact the he's the winningest active coach in the NFL. The team plays in the Georgia Dome, a 71,500-seat venue built in 1992 that has hosted two Super Bowls (in 1994 and 2000) and Olympic games (1996). Rankin Smith was awarded the expansion franchise in 1965 for $8.5 million. Smith died in 1997, leaving majority ownership of the team with the Smith family.
