In a rematch of Super Bowl LI, former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy came through with a clutch red-zone play in New England’s 23-7 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

The Falcons were looking to get within two scores early in the fourth quarter after falling behind 20-0. Atlanta faced a fourth-and-goal at the Patriots' 1-yard line.
