The Atlanta Falcons recently held a vote to determine the team’s best highlight of the decade. There were some great plays to choose from, as you can see in the tournament bracket below, as shared by Falcons reporter William McFadden.

After the first three rounds, two of Atlanta’s best players faced off for the top spot. Linebacker Deion Jones‘ leaping interception of Drew Brees to seal a win over the Saints in 2017 was the team’s top-voted defensive play of the decade.
Watch the highlight of Jones’ clutch red-zone pick, as shared by the NFL’s Twitter account below.

Unfortunately for Deion, Julio Jones’ unbelievable catch — which arguably should have clinched a 2016 Super Bowl victory for Atlanta — came in at No. 1.
Relive Jones’ clutch grab against the Patriots below and turn it off before you remember what happens after.
Don't be mad at us. Y'all voted for it.
One thing is certain… Julio = đ. pic.twitter.com/db4WzBhsE6
