Atlanta Falcons team owner Arthur Blank’s plaid gray suit and dark pocket square were not off-limits as his players jubilantly sprayed water to celebrate a 22-21 primetime upset of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Head coach Raheem Morris was doused so thoroughly he could not read the ink on the paper box score he had received moments earlier.
Rookie first-round quarterback Michael Penix Jr. tried to stay out of the spray zone, but “it was a lot of water thrown,” he told Yahoo Sports.
