Falcons head coach Raheem Morris publicly accused the Patriots defense of illegally simulating his team’s snap count by clapping during a critical fourth-quarter play of Sunday’s game. Morris said the incident occurred when the Falcons trailed 24-23 and were positioned at the Patriots’ 48-yard line with 2:09 remaining. According to Morris, the Patriots clapped to mimic the signal for the snap, prompting the Falcons’ center to snap the ball early, leading to an intentional grounding penalty on Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
