The Atlanta Steam began the 2016 season looking to establish themselves as the team to beat in the Eastern Conference of the Legends (Lingerie) Football League, but instead finished with a 1-3-1 overall record which included another season ending loss to the Chicago Bliss in the post season-the third in three years. Adding to the disappointment is the fact that the lone Atlanta win this season came against lowly Omaha.
