With just over two minutes left in the first half, Robert Alford comes up with a huge pick-six to put the Falcons up three scores in Super Bowl LI.
First, Robert Alford recovered a fumble caused by Deion Jones which led to a touchdown. Then, he picked off Tom Brady to add a score of his own.

With 2:38 left in the first half, Brady tried to hit Danny Amendola up the middle, but didn’t account for Alford to cut across and make a play on the ball.
82 yards later, the Falcons have a three touchdown lead over the Patriots — who are looking for their fifth Super Bowl title. It was also the first pick six Brady has thrown in his postseason career.
