The Atlanta Falcons have had a perfect start out of the gate with a 3-0 start. Most coaches think of the season in four quarters. The worst the Falcons could do this quarter is 3-1 which is a win for any coach. If a team goes 3-1 in each of the four quarters of the season that means they would finish the season with a 12-4 record, almost guaranteeing postseason play.
Finishing has been a theme head coach Dan Quinn has repeated to his players. Quinn has drawn a ton of praise for the Falcons start and rightfully so, but there is an unsung hero for the Falcons 3-0 start—new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
