Falcons vs. Jets: A look at the series history going into 2025
"The Atlanta Falcons, thanks to their pathetic overall history, have a winning record against just seven of 32 teams in the NFL. The New York Jets are not only one of those seven teams, but they are also the team against whom the Birds have the most statistical success against across the league. Though they have not met many times, the Falcons sport a 9-5 record against the Jets, which is good for their highest win percentage against anybody, at 64.3%."
"This matchup featured a back and forth and shared spoils from the beginning through the '90s, with both teams enjoying four wins apiece over the other. One of Atlanta's only two losses in their franchise best 1998 season was at the hands of the Jets - by a scoreline of 28-3 - as both teams wound up getting eliminated deep in the playoffs by John Elway's Denver Broncos, the Jets in the AFC Championship and the Falcons in the Super Bowl."
"Since the turn of the millennia, it's been all Falcons, however. Atlanta has won five out of six matchups since the '90s turned to the '00s, with New York's only triumph coming on Monday Night Football in that nightmare 2013 season. That was the game where Julio Jones broke his foot and was lost for the year. The last five meetings have all been decided by one score."
The Falcons possess a winning record against only seven NFL teams, with the most success coming versus the New York Jets at 9-5 (64.3%). The rivalry was split in the '90s, including a 28-3 Jets win during Atlanta's 1998 franchise-best season; both teams were later eliminated by John Elway's Broncos in the postseason. Since 2000 Atlanta has dominated, winning five of six meetings, with New York's lone win coming during the 2013 season when Julio Jones suffered a season-ending broken foot. Recent matchups have been close; the December 2023 MetLife game featured poor quarterback play, eight first-half punts, a 5-0 Jets halftime lead, and Atlanta's lone touchdown on a Desmond Ridder-to-MyCole Pruitt 20-yard connection.
