HOUSTON -- Kyle Shanahan was asked the question in every which way, but really there was no good way to answer.
The Atlanta Falcons' offensive coordinator, who is set to become the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, faced his share of scrutiny after the Falcons' 34-28 overtime loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLI. The game marked the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history, as the Falcons squandered a 28-3 lead with 8 minutes, 31 seconds left in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter with the Falcons leading 28-20, the Falcons seem to be in prime position to withstand the Patriots' charge by converting a field goal and pushing the lead to 11.
