Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so this is clearly an homage to Tony Gonzalez in his final game -- but this didn’t go so well. At least hold onto the ball man!

This dunk attempt capped off a wholly bizarre sequence that saw the Panthers gain over 50 yards on a screen pass before fumbling inside the red zone, then Matt Ryan throwing a pick six to set up this dunk attempt.
