Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith looked like a sore loser when he confronted Dennis Allen at midfield following the New Orleans Saints’ 48–17 victory in Week 18.
Smith took issue with the Saints scoring a touchdown in the final minutes of the game by going into victory formation. But rather than quarterback Jameis Winston taking a knee to keep the clock running, New Orleans gave the ball to Jamaal Williams, who scored a touchdown.
Taking that into consideration, Smith’s anger at Smith seemed rather justified. Take a knee or run the ball, but don’t fake kneeling when in a formation that tells the defense that the offense is surrendering a down.
