Falcons Dominate Jets: A Statistical Anomaly
30 Nov
Summary
- Atlanta holds a 9-5 win-loss record against the Jets.
- The Falcons' win percentage against the Jets is their highest.
- The last five meetings between the Falcons and Jets were close contests.
Historically, the Atlanta Falcons have achieved their greatest statistical success against the New York Jets. With a 9-5 overall record, the Falcons maintain a 64.3% win rate against the Jets, which is their highest against any of the 32 NFL teams. This dominance has become more pronounced in recent decades.
While the teams traded wins through the 1990s, the new millennium has largely belonged to the Falcons, who have secured five victories in six contests. The Jets' sole win since 2000 occurred in a difficult 2013 season for Atlanta, marked by a key injury to Julio Jones. Notably, the last five matchups have all concluded with a one-score difference.
The most recent encounter in December 2023 saw a low-scoring affair, with the Falcons ultimately prevailing 13-8. The game was characterized by offensive struggles from both sides, featuring multiple turnovers and a high number of punts, highlighting a trend of closely contested games between the two franchises.
