The 1990 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 25th season in the National Football League (NFL). Jerry Glanville was hired to be the team's new coach. The franchise changed their helmets from red to black. Atlanta looked to improve on its 3-13 record from 1989. The team did improve on its 3-13 record, finishing 5-11, but the Falcons would miss the playoffs for the 8th straight season. The season started out pretty well for Atlanta, as they beat playoff contenders Houston, New Orleans, and Cincinnati at home. The team sat at 3-4 after their win against Cincinnati. However, the team would then lose seven games in a row before winning its last 2 games to end the season. Atlanta would go 5-3 at home, but unfortunately, they would go winless on the road, which cost them a trip to the postseason.
