30. Atlanta Falcons (30)

Could this finally be the week in which the Atlanta Falcons decide to move on from Dan Quinn as their head coach?

One of the biggest fears surrounding the Rams entering Sunday’s game in Atlanta was the thought of the Falcons facing desperation mode since their last win came all the way back in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Unfortunately for the Falcons, this team looked flat-out awful during Sunday’s 37-10 loss to the Rams, as this team simply had zero answers to stop Los Angeles on offense or defense.

Sitting at 1-6, Atlanta seems to be a few losses away from their 2019 season officially being over since it will nearly seem impossible for them to catch up the rest of the teams in the NFC, but the focus right now will be on Quinn’s status as head coach.

No football fans enjoys seeing coaches lose jobs in the NFL, but it’s frustrating to watch this Falcons team struggle the way they do with all of the talent on both sides of the football, especially on offense.

Since Atlanta appears to be heading towards a second year in a row of failing to take advantage of having a talented team, it will be interesting to see how these next few days go for Quinn.
