It’s no wonder Kyle Shanahan panicked when his backpack briefly went missing with his Super Bowl game plan for the Atlanta Falcons. Shanahan’s scripts are worth swiping.
Atlanta has scored touchdowns on the opening drives of eight consecutive games heading into Sunday’s Lombardi Trophy prize fight with the New England Patriots.
“It speaks to Kyle doing a great job of putting together some early plays and plans for us,” Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan told reporters during this week’s preparations in Houston.
Shanahan’s emergence as an offensive savant will thrust him into the 49ers head coaching role after the Super Bowl, by all expectations.
