Mike Phillips delivered another epic national anthem with his saxophone before the Atlanta Falcons took on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship.
Last week when the Atlanta Falcons hosted the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round, everyone was left talking about the national anthem before the game. Mike Phillips delivered an amazing performance with his saxophone before the game. The Falcons brought him back for the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers and final game in the Georgia Dome.
Once again Phillips stole the show. With yet another rendition of the national anthem, everyone on social media was abuzz. Twitter had nothing but great reactions to yet another masterpiece in Atlanta.

Safe to say Mike Phillips' rendition ranks among top three #NationalAnthem performances. Whitney in 91, Marvin in 83.

It was one of those national anthems that leave you in awe and with pride in your country. Phillips is a favorite in the Atlanta area and is well known for his ability to hold a note on his saxophone in style.
It is the biggest game of the year to date for the Falcons. It’s only fitting they get someone on the field that will treat one of the highest honors of being at a sporting event with the dignity it deserves. Phillips is all class and certainly will be doing the anthem at many more Falcons games for years to come.
It’s going to be tough for the next person that does a national anthem to be able to follow up the epic performance that went down in Atlanta.
