Dwight Freeney has been there before.
The seven-time Pro Bowler experienced the ultimate high of winning Super Bowl XLI while with the Indianapolis Colts. He also went through an extreme low as a part of the Colts' 2-14 implosion in 2011 without the injured Peyton Manning.
Such experiences are part of the reason why the 36-year-old Freeney was such a valuable addition to a young Atlanta Falcons defense -- and to the team, period. With the Falcons off to a 4-1 start and riding a four-game winning streak into Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, Freeney surely can offer his own perspective on why how you finish is much more important than how you start.
