ATLANTA FALCONS
2007 RECORD: 4-12
Overview: The Atlanta Falcons are ten seasons removed from there affectionate nick name the “Dirty Birds”.

The franchise’s world came to a halt before the 07-08 season began when their most valuable player and starting quarterback Michael Vick was jailed for dogfighting, leaving the team at a complete loss at that position. On the other side of the ball, they had a lot of room for improvement. That unit allowed 414 points, highest in the division. And when it seemed that it could not get any worse their “leader,” head coach Bobby Petrino, left the team after their 13th game.
