Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Falcondom — The franchise began as an expansion team in 1965 is incorrect; the franchise was awarded in 1966 and began play in the 1966 season.

Falcondom — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states the overall NFL record of 32 points was set by the Buffalo Bills in 1993, but the largest regular-season comeback is 28 points; the 32-point comeback is a playoff record, not an overall NFL record.

NFC Championship 2014 — The event described is the NFC Divisional Round, not the NFC Championship. The title says 'NFC Championship 2014' but the stats describe the Divisional Round game on January 18, 2015, which was a loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Falcons did not play in the N

NFC Championship 2014 — The tagline and lore claim the Falcons are 'the oldest major professional sports team in America with no championships.' This is factually incorrect; the Arizona Cardinals (founded 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club) are older and have no Super Bowl championship

Saints Rivalry — The entry states the Falcons lead the series 58–56, but as of the end of the 2023 season, the Saints lead the series 54–54 (or similar recent tally; the exact record fluctuates, but the Falcons do not lead 58–56).

Saints Rivalry — The entry says the September 25, 2006 game was the highest-rated program in ESPN history at the time, but that game was actually the highest-rated program in cable television history at the time, not just ESPN history.

Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium — The stadium opened for regular season use in 1965, not 1966.

Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium — The capacity for football is listed as 60,606, but the actual capacity for football during the Falcons' tenure varied; the commonly cited capacity was 60,606 for baseball, but for football it was often listed as 59,800 or 60,000.

Harvey Martin — Martin was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Centennial Class in 2020, not the Class of 2018.

Harvey Martin — The claim that Martin 'never played a home game at any level outside of North Texas' is false because he played many away games outside North Texas.

Freddie Falcon — The Falcons' all-time regular season record is incorrect; as of the end of the 2023 season, it is 389–517–6, not 398–512–6.

Centennial Olympic Park — The park is 21 acres, not 22 acres.
