Falcons to livestream 1998 NFC title game tonight
The Falcons are set to livestream the 1998 NFC Championship game against the Minnesota Vikings at 6 p.m. Monday on the team’s website.
The win over the Vikings on Jan. 17, 1999 is widely considered the biggest win in franchise history. The Falcons were heavy underdogs in the game and needed a late kick in overtime to upset the Vikings 30-27 and advance to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.
