The Atlanta Falcons' 2000s were highlighted by the dynamic era of quarterback Michael Vick, which led to a division title in 2004 and an appearance in the NFC Championship Game. The decade also saw the team achieve a historic road playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers in 2002 and transition to new ownership under Arthur Blank.
