Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Falcondom — The franchise began as an expansion team in 1965: The Falcons were awarded the franchise in 1965, but their first season was 1966.

Falcondom — The overall NFL record of 32 points was set by the Buffalo Bills in 1993: The Bills' 32-point comeback was in a 1993 playoff game, not a regular-season record; the phrasing 'overall NFL record' is misleading as the regular-season record is 28 points.

NFC Championship 2014 — The NFC Championship Game on January 25, 2015, was between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers, not the Atlanta Falcons.

NFC Championship 2014 — The NFC Championship Game in the 2014 season was not contested between the Seahawks and Panthers; it was Seahawks vs. Packers.

Saints Rivalry — The LORE section references the Saints' dramatic comeback victory in the Divisional Round against Minnesota (the 2019 NFC Divisional Round, Vikings vs. Saints), which did not involve the Falcons and is a misattributed event in an entry about the Falcons-Saints

Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium — The intro says '25 seasons' but the Falcons played at the stadium from 1966 through 1991, which is 26 seasons.

Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium — The intro says 'secured the Milwaukee Braves' relocation that same year' (implying 1966), but the relocation was secured in 1964, not 1966.

Harvey Martin — The STATS section incorrectly lists 'Hall of Fame=Class of 2018' for Harvey Martin, who is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Georgia Dome — The entry claims a roof collapse during a pre-season game in August 1995 caused no injuries because fans had already left; the roof collapse actually occurred on March 20, 1995, not during a pre-season game.

Georgia Dome — The entry states the Georgia Dome was the only U.S. stadium to host the Summer Olympics, a Super Bowl, and the NCAA men's basketball Final Four; this is false because the Rose Bowl also hosted all three.

Freddie Falcon — The claim that a live falcon named 'Yak Yak' was used by the team is not supported by documented Falcons history; the known replacement for Thor was named 'Mercury'.

Freddie Falcon — The claim that the franchise used a football-shaped mascot named 'Rah Rah' during the 1973 season is not supported by widely known Falcons canon; the costumed mascot history before Freddie Falcon does not include a verified 'Rah Rah'.

Deion Sanders — Sanders was not a five-time first-round draft pick; he was drafted once in the first round (1989 NFL draft) and once in a later round of the MLB draft (1988, not first round).

Deion Sanders — Sanders did not have eight Pro Bowl selections and six first-team All-Pro honors while with the Falcons; he earned 4 Pro Bowls and 3 first-team All-Pro selections during his Falcons tenure.
