ATLANTA -- Dan Quinn's mantra when he became the Atlanta Falcons coach in 2015 was to play "fast and physical," particularly on the defensive side of the ball, with Quinn being a defensive-minded coach.
His 2020 team is not living up to those words, and that could cost Quinn his job.
The Falcons, playing without star receiver Julio Jones, fell to 0-5 Sunday after a 23-16 home loss to the Carolina Panthers. No team in NFL history has recovered from an 0-5 start to make the playoffs in the Super Bowl era.
