What the Numbers Tell Us
When you put these games side by side, a few things stand out.
Many games are close. Five of the eight games above were decided by six points or fewer. The 2024 game was decided by one point. The 2015 game was decided by two.
Julio Jones was the player to watch. He caught for more than 100 yards in four of these games. In 2012, 2015 and 2019, he scored and Atlanta won. In both 2018 games, he had more than 100 yards but no touchdown, and Atlanta lost.
Kickers matter. Matt Bryant made four field goals in 2015. Jake Elliott made three in the 2018 playoff game. Younghoe Koo made three in 2024. In low-scoring games, a kicker can decide the winner.
Turnovers do not always decide the game. In 2019, Ryan threw three interceptions and the Falcons still won. In the 2018 playoff game, Foles had no turnovers and the Eagles won. The best advice is to look at the whole box score, not just one number.
How to Read a Box Score
If you are new to football stats, the short names can be confusing. Here is what they mean:
- C/ATT or COM/ATT: Completions and attempts. If a quarterback is “20 of 29,” he completed 20 passes out of 29 tries.
- YDS: Yards gained.
- TD: Touchdowns.
- INT: Interceptions, which means the other team caught the pass.
- REC: Catches made by a receiver.
- TAR: Targets, or the number of times a pass was thrown to that player.
- ATT or CAR: Carries, or the number of times a player ran with the ball.
- TKL: Tackles.
- Sack: When the defense tackles the quarterback before he can throw.
- FG: Field goal, worth three points.
- Passer rating: A number that mixes completions, yards, touchdowns and interceptions. A rating over 100 is very good.
Where to Find Stats for Any Game
