Report: Steve Sarkisian 'Seriously at Risk' of Being Fired as Falcons OC

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, who has been with the team for two seasons, "is seriously at risk" of losing his job, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Rapoport also noted that defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel is as well.

After finishing No. 1 in scoring in 2016 under coordinator Kyle Shanahan, the Falcons fell to No. 15 in 2017 with Sarkisian calling plays. Atlanta improved to No. 11 in 2018, but a struggling ground game and red-zone woes marred the attack. The 6-9 Falcons will miss the playoffs after they made the Super Bowl in 2016 and reached the divisional round last season.
