****Atlanta Falcons**** And The NFL In General

Wtf was the defender thinking, "let me just cannonball into him with my head down"??
Announcers said something about he was probably trying to make sure he didn't get an interference call. I don't know.

My guess is that he was in fear of a defenseless receiver penalty, which would have extended the game by an untimed down and added 15 yards at the spot of the foul. That would have been almost as devastating as the whiff.

He seemed to dive to the left - didn't want to get hurt? Even if he thought he may have been flagged for pass interference it had to be better than allowing the TD. Good win for the Vikings though and hindsight is always 20/20.
