The Atlanta Falcons fired coach Arthur Smith just after midnight on Monday, just hours after the team was routed in the finale of its third consecutive losing season in as many years under Smith's watch. Atlanta entered Sunday with a very narrow path to claim the NFC South title, but it was shut out of the postseason for the third year under Smith when it was dealt a 48-17 loss by the rival New Orleans Saints.
