Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn revealed a special game ball was awarded to Katie Levitre, the wife of left guard Andy Levitre, after she went into labor but stayed to watch the Falcons' 36-20 divisional-round win over Seattle on Jan. 14.
Katie Levitre, who gave birth to daughter Lily early the next morning, didn't know she was getting the game ball -- labeled "ultimate toughness" for the way she gutted through it -- until after Quinn's Monday news conference. And she expressed her appreciation on Tuesday.
Thank you @FalconsDQ & the @AtlantaFalcons organization for the amazing game ball I was presented!
