ATLANTA -- The Employment Bowl goes to the Atlanta Falcons and coach Dan Quinn.
The 24-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday boosted Quinn’s chances of keeping his job. The Falcons (6-9) have won three in a row and are now 5-2 since their 1-7 start.
The resurgence began when Quinn ceded defensive play-calling duties to linebacker coach Jeff Ulbrich. The Falcons have given up 22 or fewer points in their five victories and they held the Jaguars to just three points in the first half on Sunday before giving up a garbage touchdown in the fourth quarter.
