Arthur Blank: Falcons are 'close' to winning Super Bowl

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank believes his team has the makeup of a Super Bowl winner, with some tweaks here and there leading into the 2018 season.

The Falcons, who suffered a historic collapse in a 34-28 overtime loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI, finished 10-6 this past season and lost to eventual Super Bowl LIII champ Philadelphia in the divisional playoffs. The only players who started that game not under contract for next season are defensive end Adrian Clayborn, defensive tackle Dontari Poe, free safety Ricardo Allen, guard Ben Garland and kicker Matt Bryant.
