The 2016 Atlanta Falcons compare so much to the old St. Louis Rams that we might as well as dub them: “The New Greatest Show on Turf”.
The 2016 Atlanta Falcons are winning in ways that mimic the 1999-2001 St. Louis Rams. Back then, the Dick Vermiel/Mike Martz Rams won games with high-octane offense and a bend-but-don’t-(completely)-break defense. If that formula doesn’t sound like Dan Quinn’s Falcons, then I don’t know what does.
Remember when Kurt Warner went from bagging groceries to winning NFL and Super Bowl MVP? In 2000, he and Trent Green led a pass-happy attack that was league-best in completions, passing yards, yards per attempt, and passing touchdowns.
