Although the Falcons' offense struggled, the defense – nicknamed "Grits Blitz" – was dominant. The Falcons' 129 points allowed led the league and established an all-time NFL record for fewest points allowed in a 14-game NFL season. Atlanta's 3,242 total yards allowed were second-fewest in the league, and the Falcons' 1,384 passing yards allowed was by far the best in the NFL in 1977.[4] The defense surrendered only 9.2 points per game; as of the 2020 season, this remains an all-time record.
