Saints head coach Dennis Allen can thank Jameis Winston and his players for getting him cursed out after Sunday’s game.
While up 41-17 with a minute left to go in the Falcons–Saints game, the Saints lined up in a kneel formation but ended up running the ball with Jamaal Williams for the touchdown.
I hope this was Jameis going rogue lmao

After the game, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith walked up to Allen and cursed him out on the field for running up the score.
Oh boy. #Falcons HC Arthur Smith just went OFF on #Saints HC Dennis Allen for scoring a late garbage-time touchdown.

According to Allen, he instructed his players to take a knee, but they overruled him and ran the play anyways to get Williams a touchdown.
Dennis Allen said they asked him if Jamaal Williams could get a TD. He said no, he wanted to take a knee. He said the players ran that play anyway. He said Arthur Smith was right to be upset.

Winston told the media that the team “made a collective decision” to get Williams a touchdown this season.

Fans loved the fact that Winston went rogue and went against his coach’s orders to get his teammate a touchdown.
jameis going rogue and calling an inside handoff out of victory formation is the funniest way for this season to end https://t.co/l6UqMWJfMd
