The Atlanta man shook his head in disbelief. He still wasn't sure what was happening.
The Atlanta Falcons player has been playing football for a long time, having played in the NFL for five years, four at Alabama and high school. Sunday was the first time he had experienced something like that.
After a topsy-turvy game that saw six scores in the last quarter and then overtime, Evans said he was physically and mentally drained. Only one team in the division is at.500 or better.
Evans said he would sleep for three days. It's for real.
He will sleep happily.
The Falcons seemed to have this game won and then lost. It was done twice.
Atlanta had a six-point lead after a Younghoe Koo field goal. PJ Walker hit DJ Moore with a 62-yard touchdown on the final play of the game to give the Carolina a victory. According to Next Gen Stats, the longest air distance completion since it started tracking air yards was 68.6 yards.
Dean and Evans were covering the play. After the game, he said he was on the sideline to keep Moore inbounds because Carolina had no timeouts. The game would have been won if a tackle inbounds had been made.
When he saw Walker out of the box, he didn't think he'd throw the ball.
"I didn't think he would throw it," he said.
He didn't see the ball in the sky. The receiver seemed to get ready when he was defending Moore. The screams inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium made EvansTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkia,TrademarkiaTrademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia, The first level of disbelief was experienced by him when he saw the Panther's celebrating on the bench.
Moore had barely beaten both of them, but he caught the ball and sent fans into a frenzy.
He wondered if he had just caught this. I don't think we lost the game like that.
Moore got a conduct penalty for removing his helmet. This is the first time this season that a last two minutes penalty has been called.
Moore said it was a natural response. I know I cannot do that.
The Falcons had to make a choice: Push Pineiro back 15 yards on the extra point try or take the loss on the kick. The two strategies were discussed by Arthur Smith and Marquice Williams, but they chose the latter. It worked.
The game went into overtime after Pineiro missed the extra point.
Smith said that it was one of the decisions he gets paid to make.
In overtime, the Falcons quarterback was picked off by Henderson on Atlanta's first possession, and he returned it to the Atlanta 26 for a touchdown. Pineiro was going to attempt a field goal. The Falcons believed they were in trouble. Smith tried to stop the kicker.
Smith said that it was the only thing left in his pocket. Everything you have, you go down with. I can't give an analogy.
The last available tactic worked. Pineiro pushed the attempt away from the goal.
Pineiro missed the kick.
Atlanta then drove down the field, highlighted by a 30-yard run by Mariota, who turned 29 on Sunday, to set up a 41-yard Koo field goal. The kicker for the Falcons is one of the highest paid in the league.
It's sticking to what we do every day for me. The person is sticking to the process Every week, we work on it. It's a daily thing."
The Falcons are in first place despite not being over.500 for the entire season. The last time they were over.500 was at the end of the last season.
The last time the Falcons were first in the division was in 2016 and they went to the Super Bowl. The game was so crazy, hardly any Falcons had ever experienced it.
"That was insane," Grant said. I've never been involved in that. I'm happy to be a part of it.
