The Atlanta Falcons will be wearing black throwbacks at home three times during the 2019 season.
The black alternate pays tribute to the look from the 1990s with black jerseys, red and black striping on white pants and a black helmet with the falcons crest in a white outline.
The team will wear the jerseys against the Titans, Seahawks and Saints (Thanksgiving night). Here is more on the matchups:
Week 4: 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29 vs. Titans (CBS)
• About the Tennessee Titans: The Titans have posted three consecutive 9-7 seasons and plan to continue to lean heavily on running back Derrick Henry. Two of those 9-7 seasons came under Mike Mularkey, who now is the Falcons' tight ends coach. Quarterback Marcus Mariota is 27-28 after four seasons as the starter. The Titans added wide receiver Adam Humphries, defensive end Cameron Wake and guard Rodger Saffold in free agency.
• Last meeting: Falcons won, 10-7, Oct. 25, 2015, at Nissan Stadium. Overall series: Tied, 7-7.
Week 8: 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27 vs. Seahawks (Fox)
• About the Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks were 10-6 last season and lost in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. Linebacker K.J. Wright and guard D.J. Fluker were re-signed, while the team met its April 15 deadline to work out a long-term deal with quarterback Russell Wilson. He signed a four-year, $140 million deal to remain in Seattle.
• Last meeting: Falcons won, 34-31, Nov. 20, 2017, at CenturyLink Field. Overall series: Seahawks lead, 10-6.
Week 13: 8:20 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 28 vs. Saints (NBC)
• About the New Orleans Saints: In 2019, the Saints will seek to rebound from their horrific loss to the Rams in the NFC Championship game. The missed defensive pass-interference call led to a rule change. Quarterback Drew Brees returns for his 14th season with the Saints and 19th in the NFL. He passed for 3,992 yards in 2018, his lowest total since joining the Saints. Running back Mark Ingram signed with Baltimore in free agency. Former Saints starting defensive tackle Tyeler Davison signed with the Falcons.
• Last meeting: The Falcons travel to New Orleans to play the Saints in Week 10 (1 p.m., Nov. 10, Fox). Overall series: Entering the 2019 season, the Falcons lead, 51-48. The Falcons have lost the past three meetings, and coach Dan Quinn is 3-5 against the Saints.
