What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Falcons collapsed against the Ravens, and the New York Post puts a lot of that on one man coming off the bench.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola is outside the stadium.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing in a parking lot where some of the saddest tailgate grills I have ever seen are going cold, and the smell of burnt hot dogs is everywhere.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHere is what we know: Tua Tagovailoa came in as the backup, tried to make a return, and by every account it ended badly for Atlanta.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHow badly are we talking?

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI've covered ceasefires that collapsed more slowly, and I say that with respect for everyone who has ever worked a ceasefire.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's a hard thing to say about a football game.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe Post calls it a stunning collapse, and a man in a red jersey just walked past me carrying a cooler of untouched sandwiches like a casket.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDid you get the final score?

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe data I was handed doesn't include one, Hank, and nobody out here wants to say it out loud, so I'm not going to make one up.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFair. So what did Tagovailoa actually do?

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe headline says he called game, and in my twenty years, that is the only call anyone made all afternoon that ended up working.
