My God, Pete, the Atlanta Falcons did it again.

I just, and it's no longer like, you know, like if Julio Jones were the guy,

it's like, okay, the ultimate Falcon is falconing, right? Like, it's systemic, but no, it is,

it is spread. The falconing has spread to the newest star, if you want to call him that for the Atlanta

It's kind of crazy.
