Falcons vs. Saints: Tony Gonzalez drops his most important pass

Stay connected with SB Nation

Chris Graythen

The Atlanta Falcons needed one critical catch, and their most sure-handed receiver couldn't do it.

Tony Gonzalez had two touchdowns, and was everything the Falcons wanted-- until they needed him the most. In a critical final drive to keep their undefeated season alive, Gonzo dropped the one pass he needed to catch.

This is about a routine catch as a receiver can make, and yet despite hitting his hands Gonzalez couldn't haul it in. Finishing with 122 yards and two touchdowns was great, but what will burn the most in the minds of fans is what could have been, if only Gonzalez caught it.
