The most interesting thing about the Patriots-Falcons rematch on SNF ended up being fog. Example:
The fog was so bad that NBC was forced to go with Madden-esque cameras behind the offenses for much of the game. And the game itself wasn’t really ever close, with the Patriots taking a 17-0 lead into halftime and ultimately winning 23-7.
However, the Falcons’ one touchdown (which didn’t come until the final four minutes) was a classic Julio Jones touchdown showing how much of a friggin’ beast he is.
I despise fade passes, except when they’re thrown to Julio because he can do things like this (poor Malcolm Butler here):
What a monster.
