1999 Falcons / SB53 & 99th Season

In light of Atlanta hosting SB53 for the 99th NFL season I went back and looked at the last time ATL hosted which was in 1999

This was the season where the 34th SB took place. The Rams defeated the Titans 23-16

The 1999 Falcons played both these teams including the Rams twice

Week 3: L to Rams 35-7
Week 6: L to Rams 41-13
Week 15: L to Titans 30-17

The Rams gave the Falcons their 3rd & 5th losses (35/53) of that season

Titans gave ATL their 11th loss (5th prime) and kept them on 3 wins
Titans got 11th win, stayed on 3 losses

Rams and Titans both started 6-1 in 99'
-61 = 18th prime
-Both teams finished 13-3 in RS
-Both ended the year with 16 total wins
16th prime = 53

ATL got their;
1st win Week 5
2nd win Week 8
3rd win Week 13
