Raheem Morris wants to make the most of his second opportunity as the Atlanta Falcons’ coach.

That means helping the Falcons achieve something they couldn’t during what he called the most painful loss of his career.

Morris was named Atlanta’s coach on Jan. 25. His first news conference on Monday came on the seventh anniversary of the Falcons blowing a 28-3 lead and losing the Super Bowl 34-28 to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots when Morris was an Atlanta assistant.
