1995 Atlanta Falcons season
NFL team season
The 1995 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise’s thirtieth season in the National Football League (NFL). The team finished with a 9–7 record, and qualified for the post-season as a wild card.
The Falcons’ pass defense gave up 4,541 yards through the air in 1995, which was a league record until 2011.[1][note 1] The Falcons’ defense faced a total of 650 pass attempts, the most all time.[note 2][2] The 405 passes completed against Atlanta in 1995 are fifth-most in NFL history.[3] Still, Atlanta's points surrendered was 19th in the league, and its point-differential for the season was +13.[4]
Falcons receivers Eric Metcalf, Bert Emanuel, and Terence Mathis became the third trio of teammates with over 1,000 receiving yards in the same season – a rare occurrence, with only five such trios in NFL history (as of 2021).
