The 1966 Atlanta Falcons season was the Faclons inaugural season.
[edit] Offseason
The Falcons attempted to acquire Green Bay Packers running back Jim Taylor. There were tensions in Green Bay because the Packers first round pick, Zeke Grabowski would be groomed to take over for Taylor. [1] The signing of Grabowski upset Taylor but he stated he would leave Green Bay once his contract expired, therefore the Falcons could not acquire the running back.
