FLOWERY BRANCH — The Falcons, under first-year head coach Dan Quinn, are in the midst of a potentially historic collapse.
After starting the season 5-0, they are now 6-5 after dropping five of six games and are in danger of not making the playoffs.
Since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, 66 of 72 teams (91.7 percent) that started 5-0 went on to make the playoffs, according to STATS research.
