Jacksonville Jaguars at Atlanta Falcons
1:00 pm
Recap | Boxscore

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Falcons will be searching for a coach at the end of the season. But the Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars are both set at the quarterback position.

On December 10, the Falcons entered the market for a new coach when Dan Reeves was fired.

One player who could have a say in the next coach is electrifying quarterback Michael Vick, who will be making his fourth start since returning from a broken leg. Atlanta has won two of Vick's three starts after losing 10 of its first 12 games.

The Jaguars also have their own franchise quarterback in rookie Byron Leftwich, who has passed for 2,652 yards and 13 touchdowns with 16 interceptions.

Leftwich completed just 9-of-17 passes for 131 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in last week's 20-19 wild victory over New Orleans.

Jacksonville survived in dramatic fashion. After the Saints scored on a series of laterals, the Jaguars got the win when John Carney missed the extra point on the game's final play.

The Jaguars are closing strong under first-year coach Jack Del Rio, winning three of their last four games.

Last Saturday, the Falcons nearly squandered a 23-point fourth-quarter lead in a 30-28 victory over Tampa Bay. Vick completed just 8-of-15 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

Jacksonville leads the series, 2-0.
