blown that.One year ago, the Falcons were 5-0 and appeared certain to land in
the playoffs. Instead, they won only three more games for an 8-8 finish in Dan
Quinns inaugural season as coach.Now, the Falcons again are leading the NFC
South with a 4-1 record. Quinn believes the optimism generated this season is
not just another path to a letdown for Atlantas fans.For evidence, the Falcons
can point to their ability to find different ways to win. They also can point to
back-to-back wins over last seasons Super Bowl teams.It is different, it feels
different for us, Quinn said Monday during a conference call. We have a much
better way that we reset. We learned a lot from last years start and learned a
lot from last years season.Two weeks ago, the Falcons dominated through the air
in their 48-33 home win over Carolina. Matt Ryan passed for a team-record 503
yards with four touchdowns, including 300 yards to Julio Jones, a team record
for yards receiving in a game.On Sunday, Jones had only two catches for 29
yards, but Atlanta rode strong defense, including a surprising six sacks, to
beat the Denver Broncos 23-16. Vic Beasley Jr. had 3 + sacks.Running backs
Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman led the offense. Freeman ran for 88 yards with
a touchdown and Coleman was the Falcons leading receiver with four catches for
132 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown from Ryan.The Falcons found other ways
to score when Denvers defense focused on Jones.The versatility is probably the
thing that jumps out to us, Quinn said, noting that running backs, receivers and
tight end Jacob Tamme have taken turns as Ryans favorite target.For a team
coming off a 6-10 record in 2014, last years .500 record was a step up. The
problem was 8-8 felt like a big letdown following five straight wins to open the
season.Atlanta began this season with a home loss to Tampa Bay, but will take a
four-game winning streak into this weeks game at Seattle.We love the style and
identity of this years team and the attitude and style we like to play with,
Quinn said.For Quinn, it is a return to the city where he served as the Seahawks
defensive coordinator under coach Pete Carroll. Quinn was hired by Atlanta
before the 2015 season.Quinn said Carroll had a huge impact on me as a coach in
a lot of ways. But Quinn was reluctant to say much about his time in Seattle.My
biggest focus this week is I want it to be about the guys, he said.Game notes
The Falcons flew to Seattle following Sundays win in Denver and will practice at
the University of Washington this week. ... Quinn said LBs DeVondre Campbell
(ankle) and Deion Jones (ankle) will practice Wednesday after missing the win
over the Broncos. Campbell and Jones are rookie starters. We will take all the
time we need to determine if they can help us, Quinn said. Backup LB Paul
Worrilow (groin) also missed the Denver game and his status for this week
remains uncertain.---AP NFL websites:
