Eighty-nine regular-season wins, five postseason berths, three division titles, a conference championship and a Super Bowl appearance. The last decade – from 2010 to 2019 – has been without a doubt the most successful one in the Atlanta Falcons' 53 years of existence.
The Falcons will celebrate that prolific run, which ties them for the ninth-most wins over the last 10 seasons, by honoring the players who made it possible with the creation of an all-decade team.
