The Atlanta Falcons posted a video on Twitter on Monday to thank firefighters who responded to the I-85 bridge collapse in March.
Interstate-85 reopened over the weekend less than two months after part of the bridge collapsed due to a massive blaze underneath.
Falcons' wide receiver Taylor Gabriel, center Alex Mack, fullback Derrick Coleman and wide receiver Devin Fuller visited the Atlanta fire stations that responded to the I-85 bridge collapse on May 3.
The full video can be watched below.
