An all-time recovery.
The Atlanta Falcons spent much of Sunday’s game against the Vikings settling for field goals, but once they did find the end zone, it still managed to end up on the blooper reel.
Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith took a screen pass from Taylor Heinicke and somehow outran the entire Vikings defense en route to a 60-yard touchdown.

But keep an eye on what happened after Smith reached the end zone. As he made his way through the end zone, Smith got to the tunnel and slipped on the non-turf surface. That wipeout wasn’t smooth at all, but Smith played it off wonderfully.

He started doing snow angels on a snowless surface. Brilliant recovery. It was like he planned it all along.
NFL fans also loved how Smith turned the fall into a celebration.
