description

In the second quarter of this playoff matchup between the Falcons and Packers, rookie receiver Antonio Freeman was back to receive a punt for Green Bay. Collecting the ball at the 24-yard line, Freeman took off to the left and quickly got around the edge of the coverage. Some good blocking got him into space, and when faced with a final would-be tackler, he stiff-armed his way to freedom before galloping the rest of the way for the score. Freeman also caught one pass in this one for 14 yards, as the Packers beat Atlanta, 37-20, on Dec. 31, 1995.
