Английская Википедия:2022 Atlanta Falcons season
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NFL team season The 2022 season was the Atlanta Falcons' 57th in the National Football League (NFL), their sixth playing their home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and their second under head coach Arthur Smith.
The Falcons matched their 7–10 record from the previous season, but failed to qualify for the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.[1] Despite the setbacks, the Falcons defeated quarterback Tom Brady for the first time ever in his career during the last game of the regular season, avenging their Super Bowl LI loss.[2] Also notable for the first time since 2007, long-time quarterback Matt Ryan was not on the roster as the Falcons traded him to Indianapolis on March 21.[3] The team signed former Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota as their new quarterback on the same day. Mariota was reunited with Falcons head coach Arthur Smith, who served as the tight ends coach and offensive coordinator during Mariota's tenure with Tennessee (2015–2019).[4] Шаблон:TOC limit
