The Atlanta Falcons were way out of line on a play that knocked Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from the game Thursday.
First, Dante Fowler Jr. sticks out his big leg and trips Bridgewater as the quarterback starts to take off. Bridgewater was already heading to the turf when Charles Harris goes head-hunting.
