The Falcons went into the playoffs twice and lost to the New England Patriots after giving Super Bowl a 28-3 lead in overtime. Atlanta made playoffs during the 2017 season but bounced out of the divisional round. Atlanta has not returned since.
In Quinn’s time, Atlanta was in the top 10 in the yard, rising five times, but only finished in the top 10 in points scored twice. The team was led by Matt Ryan in the quarterback and Julio Jones in the wide receiver. The team can use another weapon or use their old enough to get back into the play aging fs.
