The Atlanta Falcons are trying to avoid that whole Super Bowl Hangover thing, and while they’ve had a close game with the Bears, this play between Matt Ryan and Austin Hooper is a thing of beauty.
This Falcons TD play just gets better and better until THAT STIFF ARM
This play is EVERYTHING.


Ryan made a great play to find the wide open Hooper, but this stiff arm delivered by Hooper was incredible. You gotta feel bad for Quintin Demps here.
The play had broken down for the Falcons, and Ryan delivered the ball knowing that he was going to get popped — which he did. Three members of the Chicago Bears were on top of Ryan by the time the ball had been delivered.
Hooper was so open because Demps bit on Julio Jones. So not only did he play it wrong, he ended up getting sent to the ground by Hooper.
What a beauty.
