Said play came midway through the fourth quarter with the Atlanta Falcons leading by 16 points. On a third-and-1 from the Atlanta 35-yard line, Hightower came on an outside blitz, blew past running back Devonta Freeman and smacked the ball out of Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan’s hand. Defensive tackle Alan Branch pounced on the loose ball, giving the Patriots’ possession deep in Falcons territory. New England never looked back, scoring two touchdowns over the final six minutes
