How Dan Quinn Turned the Falcons from a Team into a Brotherhood

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan scrambles right, pump-fakes, then takes off, running 14 yards and falling into the end zone for a touchdown. It is the Falcons' 69th touchdown of the season, the most of any team, and gives them a 17-0 lead against the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.

Ryan and his teammates don't act as if this is just another score, though. Justin Hardy reaches Ryan first in the end zone and helps him up, then come Levine Toilolo and Mohamed Sanu. One by one, every Falcons player on the field makes his way to the back of the end zone to join the exuberant celebration with Ryan.
