Through the first 9 games of the 2020 NFL season, we’ve seen two versions of the Falcons. The first version appeared from Weeks 1-5, and was an abomination on a football field. Atlanta’s defense through the first 5 games was easily the league’s worst. Despite a productive offense that frequently gave the team a lead, sometimes even a big one, they could not overcome Dan Quinn. The Falcons blew 16+ point leads in back-to-back games for the first time in NFL history, and seemed to find new and exciting ways to lose every week. Quinn was fired after another poor showing against the Panthers in Week 5.
The Falcons could have been so much better in 2020
