The Atlanta Falcons aren’t just long shots on the field to take home their first Super Bowl title. Falcons head coach Dan Quinn is a heavy underdog when he goes toe-to-toe with New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as well.

Quinn, who is in his second season in Atlanta, has never faced Belichick in his young head-coaching career — a scenario that doesn’t bode well for the 46-year-old.

Belichick is 22-3 in his first meeting against a head coach.

Former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh in 2012, Panthers coach Ron Rivera in 2013 and then-Eagles coach Chip Kelly (2015) are the three who have prevailed against the four-time Super Bowl-winning head coach. Will Quinn add his name to that list Sunday?
