The answer I was looking for was "change of possessions", but "non-scoring possessions" is close enough.

In 1977, the year the Falcons had one of the best defenses ever and one of the worst offenses ever, there was a total of 207 punts in 14 games. I mean, that is just insane.

In addition, there was a total of 73 turnovers in those 14 games, 48 forced by Atlanta and 25 by the opposition. And, believe it or not, the Falcons and their opponents also combined for 24 missed FG (and only 22 makes).

304 changes of possession in 14 games but only 31 total offensive TDs. I am glad I didn't start watching football until the next year.

So.....good job on the trivia.

RE: Falcon Trivia
On an additional side not.

How amazing is it that the Falcons not only had the greatest scoring offense of all time, but also managed to force 48 turnovers in 14 games, producing a turnover margin of +23 for the year.............yet the team still only managed 7-7.

Incredible.

Woo-hoo, +2 on the points.

But I feel cheap. NOVAFalconFan put me on the right track when he guessed punts. He deserves it more than I do.

RE: Falcon Trivia
Thanks, I wouldn't have gotten to "non-scoring possessions" though!
