The 2006 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 41st in the National Football League (NFL). The team attempted to improve on their 8–8 record in 2005.
Michael Vick became the first quarterback in modern NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards, with 1,039.[1] Running back Warrick Dunn rushed for 1,140 yards, making the 2006 Falcons only the fourth team in the history of the NFL and AFL since 1920 to have two 1,000-yard rushers.[note 1] The Falcons are, however, the only team[note 2] to have multiple 1,000-yard rushers and finish the season with a losing record.
This was the end of the Michael Vick era in Atlanta as his dog fighting case led to his departure from the team the following season.
Once again, the Falcons failed to make the playoffs despite beginning with a 5–2 record.
