If Atlanta Falcons free safety Ricardo Allen was a little fatigued this past Sunday, no one would have blamed him.

Last Thursday and Friday, Allen spent 14-plus hours at the hospital alongside his wife, Grace, who gave birth to their second child.

Lennon Grace Allen was born just before 9 p.m. The Allens didn't get into their room with their new daughter until between 11:30 p.m. and midnight.

"I was in there at the hospital from 7 p.m. on Thursday until about 9:30 the next morning," Allen said.
