Quinn wants a home game for the fans
Falcons coach Dan Quinn, on behalf of the fans, will be rooting for a Green Bay upset of Dallas in the divisional playoff game on Sunday.
The Falcon will face the winner. They would host Green Bay on Sunday, Jan. 22 at 3:05 p.m. If Dallas, the No. 1 seed wins, the Falcons would travel to Texas.
Football-wise, Quinn is undecided, but he’d like the fans to get another home game.
“I don’t know yet,” Quinn said when asked who he wanted to face. “I think for the fans to have that opportunity to come back here one last time, I think that would be something that we would all look forward to.
“Past that, the coach-side and all of the matchups, we’ll just have to find that out.”
Quinn and his staff will watch with the rest of the world and then get to work on the game-plan on Sunday.
“We’ll look at that for sure tomorrow,” Quinn said. “We’ll enjoy this one tonight as far as it goes. If we do get an opportunity here, I hope the same electricity is in the dome that was today because I think all of us felt that and man, was that appreciated.”
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was his usual diplomatic self when asked who he wanted to face.
“Doesn’t matter to me,” Ryan said.
