It’s no coincidence that these clubs are sitting where they are, having committed the fewest turnovers in the league (11).
Head Coach Dan Quinn has been adamant all year in stating just how important the ball is and Sunday’s game could come down to whoever makes the fewest mistakes.
“The [ball] is going to be the number the No. 1 factor in this game,” Quinn said.
The Falcons finished the regular season plus-11 in the turnover margin, a statistic they drastically improved from 2015.
Their opponent, the New England Patriots, has showed a similar regard for the football, finishing plus-12 in the turnover margin in the regular season.
