Falcons coach Arthur Smith and Saints coach Dennis Allen had a heated exchange after today’s game because Saints running back Jamaal Williams scored a late touchdown in a blowout.
Jameis Winston called an audible even his coach didn’t know about, and that’s why the Saints scored that late TD.
After the game, Winston hilariously explained why the players overruled Dennis Allen which ultimately got him yelled at by Arthur Smith at midfield once the game had concluded.
“I want to start off by apologizing to Arthur Smith and the Falcons,” Allen said. “That was not a play that we intended to run down there to finish off the game. That’s not who we are. That’s not how we operate. We should have taken a knee, so I want to apologize to them. We have a good rivalry, and it’s a heated rivalry, but there’s a way we go about doing our business. I wasn’t happy about that.
“We should have taken a knee right there. They asked me about getting Jamaal a touchdown there at the end. I said I wanted to take a knee. We put victory [formation] out there. The guys kind of wanted to give him a touchdown. They did that on their own. That’s not acceptable.”
Williams, who led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 17 for the Detroit Lions in 2022, didn’t have a single touchdown in the 2023 season.
Winston and the team wanted him to score.
The New Orleans Saints were officially eliminated from playoff contention after the Packers beat the Bears to clinch a playoff seed.
