Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith said Monday that he's not worried about the outside attention being placed on his job security and it's something he's always understood comes with the position.

The Falcons (4-6) fell to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday -- the team's third loss in a row and sixth in eight games.

Smith said he can't concern himself with things he can't control, instead leaning on a phrase he learned from four years of Latin classes to explain it.

"Don't get into professional sports if you're worried about that. I mean, that's just the truth," Smith said.
