Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel has described the spirit inside the Atlanta Falcons dressing room as like a "brotherhood".
The Falcons are gearing up for the NFC Championship game against Green Bay Packers on Sunday, knowing victory will put them on the brink of their first Super Bowl crown.
Gabriel has flourished since he joined the Falcons from Cleveland Browns last year, where he managed just one touchdown in two seasons, and the 25-year-old is relishing the opportunity to create history.
"To be here, with these players in this situation, it's a dream," said Gabriel.
"We've worked so hard, and it goes to show that the brotherhood we have is a real bond.
"It's just the opportunity that you have. Here I have the right situation and the right fit, and I feel blessed. Going out there to make plays for my brothers has impacted my game and how I play."
The two teams met back in week eight, and the Falcons came out on top 33-32. Gabriel scored his first touchdown for Atlanta against the Packers, beating two defenders to keep hold of the 47-yard pass from quarterback Matt Ryan.
When asked about this weekend's game, Gabriel said that another shoot-out looked likely.
"Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, so you always have to expect a shootout. As long as we prepare and win each day, we'll be OK," he said.
"We have 'Matty Ice' - he's always controlled and focus. As long as he's just him, I feel like we can do it."
This will be the last game in Atlanta's Georgia Dome, the team will move into the Mercedez-Benz Stadium next year, and Gabriel is excited to give the dome a fitting send-off.
"Just to be playing at home in that stadium. Hopefully we get the win and we can leave the stadium with a great memory on Sunday."
