Yates, who spent seven years as an NFL quarterback but was Atlanta's receivers coach for the past two seasons, stuck his hands out to catch Penix's pass - but watched as the ball slid right through his hands. The play has been recounted several times in Atlanta's quarterbacks room, with Yates subjected to several jokes from his colleagues. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/falcons-qb-mic... |
