INDIANAPOLIS — Get over it? Never, Dan Quinn says while sitting in a suite high above the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. Roughly a month has passed since the Falcons and their head coach blew a 28–3 lead against the Patriots, losing Super Bowl LI in overtime. That loss marked Quinn’s third appearance and second defeat in the last four Super Bowls.
In a sit-down with SI.com on Wednesday (check back for the full magazine story still to come), Quinn detailed his thoughts on that game, his personal loss before last season and what Atlanta’s postseason run meant to the city.
