Question

Denver and Atlanta open the 2019 season next week in the Hall of Fame game. Who are the only two men who have been the head coach of both of these franchises?

Answer

Dan Reeves and Wade Phillips. Reeves went 117-79-1 in 12 seasons with the Broncos, helping them appear in three Super Bowls (all losses). He went 52-61-1 in seven seasons with the Falcons, highlighted by a 14-2 record in 1998, when they advanced to the Super Bowl (losing to Denver). Phillips replaced Reeves at both locations. He went 16-17 in the 1993-94 seasons in Denver. He went 2-1 for the Falcons in the final three weeks of the 2003 season.
