Wonder what it’ll be this time ... an illegal formation penalty to nullify Matt Bryant’s last-second 54-yard field goal, perhaps? Nah, too simple. Surely a franchise that had its locker room leader arrested the night before its only Super Bowl appearance for soliciting an undercover police officer can come up with something more creative than that.
This is, after all, the franchise that traded Brett Favre to the Green Bay Packers, who just happened to be the team standing between the Falcons and their second Super Bowl appearance. They meet today in the NFC Championship Game in the final football game ever played at the Georgia Dome.
