They finished with a 5–11 record, some way short of the 14–2 record they managed in the previous season, and failed to reach the playoffs, which meant they would not be the first team to play in the Super Bowl at their own stadium.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/atl/1999.htm 1999 Atlanta Falcons statistics and players Pro-Football-Reference.com August 4, 2011 The Falcons and their Super Bowl XXXIII opponent, the Denver Broncos, managed an aggregate 11–21 record between them; it was the worst combined record by two teams the year after they reached the Super Bowl until the Oakland Raiders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003. The season saw star running back Jamal Anderson hurt his knee in Week 2 and be subsequently placed on injured reserve, ending his season and any hope of the Falcons matching their 1998 form.Silver, Michael; "Ram Tough"; Sports Illustrated, vol. 92, issue 1, p. 48 The injury that Anderson suffered was career-threatening.
