Falcons Coordinator Kyle Shanahan Almost Lost His Game Plan
The Falcons' offensive coordinator briefly lost track of his backpack with his game plan for Sunday.
HOUSTON, MA — For a second it looked like we were heading towards backpack-gate or something else with a silly name.

Jarrett Bell of USA Today reported that Shanahan realized he lost the backpack shortly after talking to reporters. After 30 minutes of frantic searching and calls, it turns out that San Francisco Examiner columnist Art Spander took the wrong backpack and left his backpack near the scrum that surrounded Shanahan.
