After nearly turning the football over earlier in the drive, Justin Hardy scored a touchdown to tie the Atlanta Falcons’ game with the Buffalo Bills at 17-17.

Hardy made a 3-yard touchdown grab from quarterback Matt Ryan on a third-and-goal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday,

Earlier in the drive, Hardy nearly gave the football to the Bills. Before totally securing possession of a pass, Hardy dropped the ball after taking a couple of steps. The Bills recovered. However, after review it was determined Hardy never had control of the football and it was ruled an incomplete pass.
