4. The Falcons could save Dan Quinn’s job

Dan Quinn appeared to be the coach on the hottest seat a few weeks ago. The Falcons were 1-7. But they beat Carolina on Sunday, a week after winning at New Orleans. That alone won’t save Quinn’s job. But if the Falcons can win out or come close to it, Quinn could stick around. Owner Arthur Blank might settle for less than a playoff berth if the Falcons finish with strong momentum.
