<P> The Falcons moved into their new home , the Mercedes - Benz Stadium , this season . Their first game ever played at the new stadium was a preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals . The first regular season game at the new stadium was a rematch of the 2016 -- 17 NFC Championship , with Atlanta defeating Green Bay 34 -- 23 . Their first loss of the season was a 23 -- 17 home defeat to the Buffalo Bills in week 4 . The team returned to the playoffs with a 10 - 6 record ( albeit with a third - place finish in the NFC South ) . The Falcons defeated the Los Angeles Rams 26 - 13 in the Wild Card round , but their 2017 season came to an end a week later in the Divisional Playoff round at the hands of the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 15 - 10 . </P>
