The Atlanta Falcons have taken a 14-0 lead in Super Bowl 51 on Matt Ryan’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hooper with 8:48 left in the second quarter.
Devonta Freeman gave the Falcons their first score just four minutes earlier in the second quarter. The five-play, 71-yard drive was set up when Deion Jones forced a fumble by Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount, and the ball was recovered by Richard Alford.
Matt Ryan, the NFL MVP, then threw passes of 19 and 23 yards to Julio Jones, who didn’t catch a pass in the first quarter.
