Gary Downs will be pulling for the Atlanta Falcons just as hard as any other fan today in front of his television. He thinks Atlanta has the talent to get past the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game with a slot in the Super Bowl on the line. Downs, now the head football coach at Riverside Military Academy, would like nothing more than to see the franchise he spent four full seasons playing for, including being as back-up running back on the franchise’s NFC Championship team in 1998, bring home the Lombardi Trophy.
