Devonta Freeman, a Miami native, scored a 5-yard touchdown. They made the field goal and kicked the ball back to New England on kickoff. The Pats couldn’t come-up with an answer so they just punted the ball away on 4th down. It took the Falcons just 5 Plays to score their second touchdown with Matt Ryan throwing a 19 yard pass to Austin Hooper. New England got the ball back and Tom Brady throws an interception to Robert Alford who runs down the field and gets a pick 6, scoring the third touchdown of the quarter.
