Falcons score on a fumble recovery of a fumble recovery

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons scored in the weirdest of ways in the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, on a fumble recovery of a fumble recovery.

49ers running back Jeff Wilson took the ball up the middle for one yard when Falcons linebacker Rashaan Evans made contact with him, forcing the fumble. The ball bounced around on the ground for a while when A.J. Terrell picked it up and ran wide toward the San Francisco end zone.

He returned the ball 21 yards and then extended to get to the end zone.
