ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons returned to work Monday, trying to convey a sense of normalcy in a season that has quickly flown off the rails.
Coach Dan Quinn said all the expected things - no, he's not fretting about losing his job; yes, he's sure this is a better team than the first three weeks have shown - but there's no way to sugarcoat the Falcons' predicament.
This team is in big trouble.
The Falcons (0-3) are coming off two devastating losses, becoming the first team in NFL history to blow back-to-back games in which they led by at least 15 points in the fourth quarter.
