We still don’t have any points in Super Bowl LI, but we have a turnover.

Just as the Patriots had moved into field goal range, running back LeGarrette Blount fumbled, the Falcons recovered, and Atlanta took the ball back.

Making a great play to force the fumble was Falcons linebacker Deion Jones, continuing a strong rookie season. Cornerback Robert Alford recovered.

Now we’ll see if the Falcons’ offense can do anything in a game that could use some scoring.
