All Falcons, Jets stand during national anthem

All of the Falcons and New York Jets stood during the national anthem before their exhibition game on Friday at MetLife Stadium.

ExplorePlayers around the league protested on Thursday night and drew the ire of President Donald Trump.

No players were seen running out of the locker room after the anthem was played.

The league and the players' union have yet to announce a policy for this season regarding demonstrations during the anthem after the league initially ordered everyone to stand on the sideline when "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played, or remain in the locker room.
