Falcons cornerback Robert Alford didn’t sulk or keep his head down after getting a 42-yard pass interference penalty.
Falcons defensive backs coach Marquand Manual told him to move onto the next play.
When it was time for someone to step forward in overtime, Alford came through with a 59-yard interception return for a touchdown to help the Falcons improve to 5-0 on Sunday.
“It feels good,” Alford said. “When we were meeting on the sideline, we all said that it was going to be one of us on the back end that was going to end the game.
