ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons are bringing back their red helmets for their throwback uniforms for three different home games this season.

This year, the team will wear them in three different home games.

Atlanta will debut them on Sep. 17 at home against the Green Bay Packers, on Oct. 15 against the Washington Commanders, and then against the division rival New Orleans Saints on Nov. 26.

The Falcons brought back the combination in 2009 and wore the uniform twice each season until 2013 when NFL rules prohibited teams from wearing more than one helmet.
