1973 Atlanta Falcons season : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1973 Atlanta Falcons season
The 1973 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's eighth year in the National Football League (NFL). The team improved on their previous season’s output of 7–7 and achieved their best record until 1980, but failed to reach a maiden playoff berth〔(1973 Atlanta Falcons )〕 due to an unexpected home loss to a Cardinals team that had won only one of its last ten and was playing an unknown quarterback called Gary Keithley. Keithley completed only ten of thirty-two passes, but the Cardinals’ rushing game was completely unexpected and along with six field goals from Jim Bakken destroyed the Falcons after they had led 10-nil.〔“Bakken, Cardinals deflate Falcons’ Playoff Bubble”; in ''Toledo Blade''; December 10, 1973; p. 21〕 A highlight for the 1973 Falcons was defeating the Vikings when that team was 9–0 and looking at emulatiing the previous season‘s Dolphins’ perfect season.〔(Last Unbeaten NFL team in each season )〕 Despite the Falcons’ success between 2008 and 2012, this remains the sole time the Falcons have defeated the last unbeaten NFL team. Only the Green Bay Packers (not since 1968), the Cleveland Browns (not since 1966) and the Detroit Lions (not since spoiling the 1962 Packers’ perfect season) have gone longer without beating the final undefeated NFL team.〔〔Expansion franchises the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have never defeated the final unbeaten team in their history〕 ==Personnel==
