Falcons' Sanu: Super Bowl collapse doesn't define our 2016 season

The football world saw the Atlanta Falcons' 25-point Super Bowl collapse as an implosion. To Mohammed Sanu, though, it was simply a bad bounce.

The receiver joined NFL Network Friday morning to defend his team's performance in Houston and stated that the momentum swing after going up 28-3 was too much, but that it shouldn't define the Falcons' season.

"You're thinking 'OK we got this, let's keep doing what we're doing and trust the process.' Just go out there and do what we do," Sanu said about the feeling following Tevin Coleman's third-quarter touchdown. "I just felt like momentum shifted and we weren't playing as aggressively as we usually do. It's just unfortunate."

While most will forget the Falcons' 11-5 regular season after the memorable Super Bowl, Sanu was adamant that his team considers the season a success, despite the catastrophic ending.

"Us as a team, we know what we have and what we did throughout the whole season and I wouldn't say the last quarter of that game is our legacy," said Sanu. "We did what we had to do throughout the season to make it to the big stage and we played well. It just so happened it didn't go our way."
