Falcons giving Dan Quinn until bye week to turn things around Atlanta will host the Rams and Seahawks in back-to-back games before getting some rest Week 9, and after a 1-5 start just 2 1/2 years removed from their trip to Super Bowl 51, the team is running short of patience.
NFL Media reported that Falcons owner Arthur Blank wants to see progress over the next couple of weeks "or changes could come," with the fifth-year coach as one of them. Quinn already fired all three of his coordinators before the season started, so the blame would have to fall on him.
Jay Gruden may have been the first coach to get the axe, but he certainly won't be the last, and it appears Quinn has two weeks to save his job.
