This Is a Second Half Football Team
The Atlanta Falcons play their best football in the fourth quarter for HC Dan Quinn. The same could not be said for former HC Mike Smith. When your team plays its best football in crunch, your team is never out of a contest. The Atlanta Falcons are practicing what Dan Quinn is preaching.
Heart won these three games for the Falcons. There is no quit in this football team. Other coaching staffs would have this team sitting at 0-3, trembling about hosting J.J. Watt and the Houston Texans, instead of at 3-0, wondering how hot of a start can this team get on.

It’s still early, but the culture change in Flowery Branch is in full effect. Championship caliber teams play their best brand of football when the game is on the line. That is what Dan Quinn aspires his Atlanta Falcons to become.
Atlanta still has to figure out how to play a full four quarters. The first half in this game was not pleasant to endure. But for now, Rise Up Nation can take pride in knowing that their Atlanta Falcons are a strong second half team, especially in the fourth quarter.
