Fans embrace Michael Vick’s return to the field in Atlanta with the AFFL

It’s been 12 years since Michael Vick last took the field for the Falcons. But fans turned out in droves on Saturday night to watch him play football once again in Atlanta.

Vick and his team, the Roadrunners, took on Chad Ochocinco and his Team Ocho in the American Flag Football League semifinals at Kennesaw State University’s Fifth Third Bank Stadium on Saturday night. Turnovers in the end zone led to the Roadrunners’ 26-13 loss to Ocho. But that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of fans who were primarily there to see the former Falcons star play.
