In-game replay: Toilolo recovers Freeman fumble for Falcons touchdown
Devonta Freeman owes Levine Toilolo a steak dinner.
In the second quarter of the Atlanta Falcons game on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Toilolo recovered a Freeman fumble in the end zone to give the Falcons a 14-7 lead.
Atlanta moved down to the Tampa Bay 1-yard line after Freeman rattled off a run of 15 yards and a 22-yard reception. On a second-and-goal, Freeman ran behind Dontari Poe and leaped into the end zone. However, the football was punched out before he crossed the goal line by defensive end Robert Ayers.
The ball trickled into the end zone where Toilolo alertly jumped on the loose ball. Buccaneers safety Justin Evans and Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews both had a shot to grab the ball before Toilolo recovered it. The Atlanta tight end got credit for the score.
