- The 1978 Atlanta Falcons season was the Falcons' 13th season. The Falcons only went 2-4 in their first 6 games. However, after such a blue-cold start to the season, they got back on the saddle and won 7 of their last 10, and it was the first postseason appearance in franchise history with a 9–7 record. Hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in their first ever playoff game, the Falcons scored 2 touchdowns in their final fourteen minutes to pull out a 14–13 win. A week later the Falcons were 14-point underdogs facing the Cowboys. The Falcons took a 20-13 lead into halftime, but the Cowboys battled back to take a 27-20 lead. With one last shot, the Falcons fell inches short of a first down on the Cowboys' 32-yard line, as the Cowboys got the ball and ran down the clock. (en)
