The Falcons made it interesting, of course, in the waning minutes of Thursday night’s game against the Panthers, but were able to hold on and bring home their second win of the 2020 season.

Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the catch he made off of his shoelaces on Thursday night had shades of an infielder snagging an in-between hop. Hurst has seemingly been good for at least one eye-popping catch a game in recent weeks, and his ability to come back for the low football and secure the grab deserves a tip o’ the hat.
