A day after the Atlanta Falcons suffered a devastating overtime loss to the New Englard Patriots in the Super Bowl, Mayor Kasim Reed focused on the team’s impressive record on its road to the nation’s most-watched television event.
“The team and its coaching staff had an outstanding record of achievement this season, including being named NFC champions and our quarterback Matt Ryan earning recognition as the NFL’s MVP,” Reed said early Monday in a statement congratulating the team’s season.
“The entire Atlanta Falcons organization has always been committed to our city and gives back to our neighborhoods every day,” he said, adding that he could not be prouder of the way the team played on Sunday. “Now it’s our turn to proudly support them.”
Reed said up next for the Falcons is a new season in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium and that he is looking forward to attending later this year.
“Congratulations to the city of Boston and to the New England Patriots on a hard fought Super Bowl victory,” Reed said.
