ATLANTA -- Arthur Blank said it was not just one factor -- not one thing or game or moment which made him decide to fire Arthur Smith late Sunday night.

But during a press conference lasting more than 90 minutes on Monday hitting on a wide variety of topics, Blank continued to come back to one thing: that Smith failed to deliver on a vision of success and hope for the Atlanta Falcons for the 2023 season after two years spent rebuilding.

"The gap between achieving and underachieving was much bigger than what I anticipated this year," Blank said.
