Kyle Shanahan took blame for Falcons Super Bowl collapse, according to report

The Atlanta Falcons were just under five minutes away from a Super Bowl title Sunday, when things went horribly wrong. Since then, it has become readily apparent that Kyle Shanahan is going down as the goat of this game. After Sunday’s loss, he reportedly told people at the team hotel that he blew it.

After a near miraculous catch by Julio Jones set the Falcons up at the Patriots 22-yard line, all they needed was a field goal to all but put the game on ice.
