Tell the Truth Monday: Dan Quinn says Sunday's win was a measuring stick for the Falcons

Quinn was pleased with the team's performance and the way they've responded after that devastating 38-0 loss to the Panthers in Charlotte.

It sure was refreshing to watch the Falcons fight hard for a win on Sunday, destroying the Carolina Panthers' perfect record. In his weekly Tell the Truth Monday press conference, Dan Quinn called the win a "measuring stick" for this team's potential.

"Yesterday, I thought, was a great measuring stick for us, not necessarily playing them, but I really wanted to see how we'd respond," Quinn said. "We'd been beaten, we'd been embarrassed, and I wanted to see how our guys would react, and over the last couple of weeks I think we've been playing more like the team I thought we'd be and that we can be and will be, and I see it by how hard the guys are playing for one another.
