Falcons trivia: Which 3 teams have losing records against Atlanta but have outscored them?

The Falcons don’t have .500 or better records against many teams, I’m sad to say. Among those that they do have a .500 or better record against, however, they have outscored all but three of those teams.

Let’s back up and first acknowledge that this team only has a winning or even record against nine teams, which helps reinforce just how much better the last decade-plus has been than the ones that came before it. Their records overall run the gamut from their weirdly stellar record against the Chargers (8-2) to their almost unspeakably pitiful record against the Colts (2-15, or just above a .100 winning percentage). We’re talking about two teams in particular, here, though.

One of these teams is pretty familiar to the Falcons. Confoundingly, Atlanta’s got a winning record against them all-time, but they’ve been outscored by 25 points. The second is a team they also have a winning record against, but are 20 points down in the all-time series. The other is a team they’re .500 against, and against that team they’ve been outscored by 33 points.

Who are those two teams? Here’s a rare hint: They once (and only once) played one another in the Super Bowl.
