The Atlanta Falcons opted to fire Raheem Morris, but it didn't take much time for other teams to start reaching out

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has revealed in a letter to fans that Sunday night's firings of coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot are not the only moves planned in an attempt to end the team's streak of eight consecutive losing seasons.

The Rams have won eight of their last 10, but after a late loss to Seattle last week now trail the Seahawks by a game in the chase for a division title. Atlanta actually enters on a two-game losing streak to get its record to 6-9, but has been eliminated from wild card contention.
