What does the football discussion show about Atticus?

In chapter 10, Jem asks Atticus if he will participate in the local church football game between the Methodists and the Baptists. Atticus responds by telling his son that he is too old to play football and that he would break his neck if he joined the Methodists' team. Scout then mentions that every child's father played in the local church football game and that Jem stood gloomily on the sidelines as they watched Cecil Jacobs's dad score touchdowns. Jem and Scout are relatively embarrassed by their father's old age and inability to participate in sports. Later in the chapter, a rabid dog staggers down the main road of Maycomb, and Sheriff Tate gives his rifle to Atticus. The children are astonished and in awe of their father's marksmanship abilities after Atticus shoots and kills the dangerous animal in one shot. Atticus's amazing marksmanship makes the children rethink how they initially perceived their father.
