The Falcons haven’t captured the NFC South title since 2016, a season that ended with the team facing the Patriots (and collapsing) in the Super Bowl.

They watched the Buccaneers win the past four championships — and the Saints win the four before that. On Sunday, the Falcons will open the season at 1 p.m. against the defending division champs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Overall, the Falcons have won four NFC South titles since the birth of the division in 2002 (2004, 2010, 2012, 2016). Will they win another this season? Tell us what you think.
