The 1984 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchiseâÂÂs 19th season in the National Football League (NFL). The season saw Atlanta attempting to improve on its previous record of 7âÂÂ9 from 1983. The Falcons would split their first six games, but then suffer a franchise-record 9-game losing streak to knock the team down to 3âÂÂ12. The Falcons would win their finale against the Philadelphia Eagles and finish the season 4âÂÂ12, their worst record since 1976.
The National Football League held a draft for college seniors who had already signed with either the United States Football League (USFL) or the Canadian Football League (CFL) on June 5, 1984, in New York City. The draft was for players who would have been eligible for the regular 1984 NFL draft, but who had already signed a contract with either a team from the USFL or CFL prior to it.
