The 1985 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 20th season in the National Football League (NFL). They finished last in the NFC West with a record of four wins and twelve losses.
This season marked the first time since 1972 that the Falcons played the Kansas City Chiefs, and merely the second in team history. The reason for this is that before the admission of the Texans in 2002, NFL scheduling formulas for games outside a team’s division were much more influenced by table position during the previous season.
