NFL to Post 3 Best Falcons Games to YouTube

As part of the NFL's partnership with YouTube, for the first time ever the NFL will make available some of the most exciting games in league history on the social video platform.

Each NFL club's fans have a choice of five games to pick from and the top three vote-getters will be uploaded to YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

Get your vote in below, but here's a look at your options:

1983: Falcons vs. 49ers - In the waning moments of a tight game against then-division rival San Francisco, quarterback Steve Bartkowski delivered a 47-yard Hail Mary pass to Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, who had to do a little dancing to get into the endzone to earn a 28-24 win.

1998: Falcons vs. Vikings, NFC Championship Game - Does this game really need any explanation? Morten Andersen's dead-on kick lifted the Falcons to their first conference title win and a trip to the Super Bowl.

2002: Falcons vs. Packers, NFC Wild Card Game - The Packers were unbeatable in Lambeau Field, especially during the postseason — or so everyone thought. Michael Vick and crew proved that all wrong as the Falcons handed Green Bay and Brett Favre its first postseason loss in the hallowed stadium.

2010: Falcons vs. Saints, Week 3 - The Saints were fresh off a Super Bowl victory when the Falcons came to town in Week 3 of the regular season. They may have expected a blowout, but what they got was a hard-fought battle that came down to overtime and one steely kicker — Matt Bryant — outdoing the one on the other side, who missed a chip-shot that would have ended it.

2012: Falcons vs. Seahawks, NFC Wild Card Game - An emotional game all around, many new fans will likely point to this one as the best, and for good reason. Two straight one-and-done playoff appearances and a do-it-for-Tony-Gonzalez attitude weighed heavy on the shoulders of the Falcons, who got out to a big lead. They'd relinquish it and have to fight back to send the game to overtime. That's when Bryant again became the hero, kicking Gonzalez, Matt Ryan and then-head coach Mike Smith to their first playoff win.
