ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Georgia Bulldogs received a warm welcome back home after winning back-to-back national championships.

The Bulldogs landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport around 5:30 p.m. and made their way to their team buses before heading back to Athens where they will await many excited fans and family members.

It’s not something you see every day. But if you’re fresh off of winning back-to-back national championships and the last one was in historic fashion, you’ve earned the special treatment.

Several of the team buses made their way through the evening commute in the metro Atlanta area with a fancy police escort, something really cool for motorists to see on the highway.
