After the Falcons turned a Patriots fumble into the first touchdown of the game, Atlanta doubled their lead later in the second quarter. When the Patriots got the ball back, they were methodically plodding down the field, using three defensive holding calls to move into the red zone.

Then, on a key third down, Alford jumped a Brady throw and took it to the house.

Here's the pick-6:
