Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker Deion Jones made an incredible bobbling interception to seal the victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
There might not be a team that is more tough to put away than the Seattle Seahawks. Even though the Atlanta Falcons held a sizable lead over the Seahawks late in the fourth quarter on Sunday, the latter would not quit until the game was over.
Down 16 points and having one last chance to make something happen, it looked like Russell Wilson was going to make miracles happen again. That was until a pass caught by Paul Richardson was ruled an interception. A few plays later, Wilson would appear to complete a pass that ended up getting broken up by De’Vondre Campbell and Jalen Collins. The ball would bounce in the air and Deion Jones made the biggest play of his career.

Jones would manage to snag the ball in the air and would return the football deep into Seattle territory. After the Seahawks were threatening to make plays late, the Falcons defense got physical and made sure that football got loose.
Jones has been one of the best rookie defensive players in the league this season and his incredible athleticism has made him a weapon. He’s made similar plays before but this one came at the biggest moment of his career.
The Falcons pulled off the huge win and it was sealed by this interception. They will now wait and find out who they will be playing in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday. Jones will have a chance to make more plays there.
