Former New England Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon is up to his old game-wrecking ways with the Atlanta Falcons.
In Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, the veteran linebacker hauled in a deflected pass and took it to the house for six points. It was a beautiful heads-up play that poured onto an already lopsided lead for the Falcons in Atlanta.
Judon started the year in New England, but he was ultimately traded to the Falcons for a third-round draft pick before the start of the regular season. It has been a mostly disappointing run for the four-time Pro Bowler in Atlanta. However, plays like the pick-six against New York are proof that he’s capable of making a game-changing play at any moment.

The Patriots haven’t had much success in the pass-rushing department without Judon this season. But they have big hopes that players like Keion White and Anfernee Jennings can grow in the role.
