4) Super Bowl 2017 is a coming out party for the Atlanta Falcons

Nobody knows how a new head coach will handle the big moments. Nobody can be sure how a new team, fresh off their biggest season arguably ever can do in the limelight.

But if you’re a betting man, bet on the Atlanta Falcons.

Super Bowl 2017 represents an opportunity for the Falcons to have a coming out party. In the NFC Championship they showed how good they were in a big way, trouncing a perennial contender and NFL powerhouse in the Green Bay Packers. It was a beat down that showed the Falcons are truly for real.

Yet it will be the Super bowl that actually defines the Falcons as a franchise to contend with going forward. This isn’t going just be an important game for one team, this is the defining moment of an era under head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn has put in the work to get the Falcons there and he will use the big moment in front of the whole world to prove that his team is worth it and built to go the distance. The Falcons have the talent and facing off against the Patriots is a perfect way to prove to the rest of the NFL that it isn’t a fluke.

The 2017 Super Bowl is a chance to showcase just how far the Falcons have come in the last two years. They haven’t shied away from the limelight yet and they’ll surely embrace it again. Big moments can be intimidating, but this team will meet the challenge head on.
