Todd Gurley was not happy.
Actually, he was a lot more than not happy.
“I was mad as hell,” the Atlanta Falcons running back said of mistakenly scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 1:04 left in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
A running back angry about scoring?
Strange but true.
Yet there it was. Gurley tried to stop short of the goal line but he failed. Lions linebacker Jamie Collins added to the peculiarity of the moment when he stood over Gurley and made a touchdown signal as the Falcons took a 22-16 lead after a 2-point conversion.
