Were Winston and his teammates wrong for flouting their coach’s directives? Undoubtedly so, as Winston openly conceded and extended apologies to Dennis Allen in the post-game aftermath. However, Winston had a good point too when he was asked by someone in the media after the game if all the critics would’ve thought that the Saints were “running up the score” if the guy who made the last-minute interception hadn’t been caught at the 1-yard line, with his team already up 41-17 and ran it in for a touchdown. I highly doubt it. Then too, tho he was still wrong, I believe Winston was totally sincere in wanting to get a TD for Jamaal Williams. Plus too, Falcons coach Arthur Smith got fired after the game anyway and anyone calling for Winston to be fired for this overblown drama, needs to have their head examined.
