Former Notre Dame star gets Falcons first win with familiar ballhawking ways

Anyone who knows former Notre Dame football star Xavier Watts at all knew that the Atlanta Falcons got one of the steals of the NFL draft when the safety fell to the second round earlier this spring. Since he joined the team officially, he's done nothing but prove that over and over again.

On Sunday night, Watts proved it again in a rather emphatic way when he got his first career NFL interception. In the process, Watts waved "night night" to the Minnesota Vikings and helped the Falcons get their first win of the season.
