The Atlanta Falcons are heading into year four of the Dan Quinn era down in Flowery Branch. Atlanta has been an above-.500 football team since Quinn arrived in 2015. The Falcons have made the NFC playoffs in back-to-back years, including a trip to Super Bowl LI at the end of the 2016 NFL season. Atlanta is the only team in the NFC to have made the playoffs the last two years.
So there is reason to believe that the Falcons’ championship window is very much open. The roster is deep, the coaching is excellent and the front office is in lock-step.
