Falcons’ KhaDarel Hodge recovers muffed punt for touchdown

The Falcons capitalized on a Saints special teams gaffe

Rashid Shaheed of the New Orleans Saints made some ill-advised decisions on an Atlanta Falcons punt on Sunday.

First, he decided to try and make a fair catch of the punt by Bradley Pinion inside the five. Maybe he thought the football was going to land and pin the Saints deep.

Then, he failed to secure the football which bounced into the end zone where KhaDarel Hodge fell on it in a scramble for an Atlanta touchdown.

After the PAT, the Falcons led, 7-0.
