Consider this the best play — well, maybe the second best play — that never was. After Kwon Alexander picked off Matt Ryan in Tampa Bay’s red zone, he turned on the gas and turned the interception into a solid pick-six opportunity — until Julio Jones came sprinting out of nowhere and threw Alexander into the ground.

It might have been the play of the game, except it was a false alarm. Rather than a 93-yard return, the referees called back the play because the Buccaneers’ Jacquies Smith was offside. The exhausted Jones had to sit out the next play, but you’ve got to respect the effort.
