Jessie Bates III provided the nail in the coffin to Matthew Stafford's MVP hopes

Matt Stafford went into Week 17 cruising to his first MVP in his long career. However, the Atlanta Falcons had something to say about that as they smacked him right in the face.

In the first half, they picked the former Georgia Bulldog quarterback twice, with one going for a pick-six. In the second half, rookie safety Xavier Watts made another play on fourth down, picking him off for a second time, nearly taking it for a touchdown.
