Many of you have remarked over the last few years that Dan Quinn’s Falcons seem to find themselves in a lot of close games. Coming out of the bye week and with this team hanging on to faint playoff hopes for dear life, I thought it might be worth taking a look at whether that’s actually the case, especially compared to Quinn’s predecessor.
So, what is Dan Quinn’s overall record as a head coach in games settled by seven points or fewer? It’s a fairly unremarkable 19-16 in 35 close games (.543), and 64% of the games DQ has coached in Atlanta have come down to that margin.
