Falcons coach Dan Quinn gave us his thoughts on the run defense before heading to the plane following a 25-20 win over the Jets Sunday:

ā€œI think that was the key,ā€ Quinn said about holding the Jets to 43 yards rushing.Ā ā€œIt was going to be a line of scrimmage day. The defense hasn’t been happy with where they were at with in the run defense over the last two weeks.ā€

On what worked?

"It wasn't anything we did different, we just did it better," Quinn said.Ā "Gap control and getting them down. I was pumped. We felt like we took a step to being more like we can be."
On if Ahtyba Rubin helped?

ā€œHe did help with his size and his strength in there. I just felt like we were communicating well. Everyone was doing their job. No one was jumping out of their gap. We were just playing good team ball.ā€
