Falcons Delete Tweet Seemingly Shading Ohio State Kicker Over CFP Miss

The Atlanta Falcons social networks group had a change of mind on Monday … ditching a post that appeared to tease Ohio State kicker Noah Ruggles for missing out on a game-winning basket over the weekend.

The now-deleted tweet was released right after ATL’s Younghoe Koo nailed a 21-yarder to lead the Falcons to a 20-19 house win over the Arizona Cardinals … which checked out, “This is how you make a game-winning field goal at @MBStadium.”

Of course, Ruggles remained in a comparable, yet far more essential, position on Saturday night in the College Football Playoff semis versus the Georgia Bulldogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium … however his 50-yard effort wound up large left, ending Ohio State’s championship game hopes.

The Falcons’ tweet was commonly panned on social networks … with lots of explaining Ruggles is simply a kid, and he’s most likely currently beating himself up over the circumstance.

On top of that, the Falcons were terrible in 2022-23 … and comparing a game-winning kick to make a sixth win late in the season to a missed out on chance at a champion is absurd.

The Falcons should’ve concurred with the reaction … ’cause the tweet was erased on Monday.

But, considering this is the Internet we’re discussing, the damage was currently done … and lots of fans screenshot the bad joke and shared all of it over social networks.
