1982 Atlanta Falcons season
The 1982 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 17th season in the National Football League. The team qualified for the postseason and unofficially won the NFC West for the second time in three years. Due to the players strike, this was not recognized as divisions were dissolved for this year only. As the lone NFC West team to qualify for the playoffs, Falcons were considered the 1982 first place team when 1983 matchups were determined.
