Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his impressive performance in the teams' season finale. While the game feels like ages go due to the team firing head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot on Sunday evening, Gonzalez played a pivotal role in the win.

Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has reportedly received interest from several teams. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Morris is expected to interview with the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans regarding their respective head coaching vacancies.

The Atlanta Falcons take an early lead against the New Orleans Saints on a lofted touchdown pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins to wide receiver Drake London.

Atlanta fired GM Terry Fontenot after five seasons without a winning record. Morris, out after only two, might have been collateral damage.
