“One game will not defy the work we put in for eight months” is what Dan Quinn reiterated during the post-game press conference. The frustrated head coach was struggling for words when answering questions about the Falcons’ red zone problems. It’s hard to blame him, given what transpired last January. The Falcons’ dreams of getting back to the Super Bowl were dashed from their inability to score in the red zone. They faced the same team eight months later and lost in practically the exact manner.
The Falcons scored nine points in five red zone appearances on Thursday night.
