The NFL Players Association's 2026 report cards, an annual survey that grades franchises from A-plus to F-minus on everything from ownership to treatment of families, were leaked last night, and obtained by multiple media outlets, and earlier today The Morning Shift reacted to the Atlanta Falcons’ NFLPA report card grades, reacted to Falcons new Head Coach Kevin Stefanski getting a C minus grade for this past season as the Cleveland Browns’ Head Coach, and explained why they think Falcons fans shouldn’t over analyze Stefanski's NFLPA report card grade.
“Where I keep kind of coming back to on Kevin Stefanski is both things can be true that you’re not going to have a good grade being a Head Coach in Cleveland, but also you don’t want to be the worst graded head coach in the NFL like both of those can be true at the same time where I’m not sure he’s that bad, but also that’s what the grade was, and I think that that’s the alarming thing for me.” Mike Johnson said
Between the quarterback controversy, the team not winning a lot of games, and the survey being conducted towards the end of the season there’s a lot that went into Stefanski getting that C minus grade, and some of those things weren’t all Stefanski’s fault. Now that Kevin is with a more stable and better run franchise, Falcons fans shouldn’t be worried about that grade at all.
