Falcons' Freeman wouldn't change anything in Super Bowl collapse

The Atlanta Falcons aren't going to blame anyone but themselves for losing Super Bowl LI.

Six weeks after suffering the 25-point collapse, Falcons running back Devonta Freeman could look back through the tape and point out dozens of ways to avoid the loss, but he's choosing to look forward.

When asked if there was anything he would take back from the game, Freeman replied: "Nothing."

"No play," Freeman told ESPN's Vaughn McClure. "Even the mistake I made with the missed block. When you look at a football game, you're talking about four quarters. You're talking about the best guys against the best guys on both sides of the ball.

Freeman's missed block was a crucial turning point in the New England Patriots comeback as he failed to stop Dont'a Hightower from stripping the ball out of Matt Ryan's hands.

"Mistakes are going to happen. If you're perfect in the NFL, something is not right. I don't know anybody who's perfect.

"My mistake is a scar," Freeman said. "I'm going to learn from it. I'm going to get better from that. That's how I look at it."

Freeman plans to use the loss as motivation to continue his 1,000-yards-per-season pace and keep pushing for a Super Bowl win.

"That's like a scar you'll see forever," Freeman said. "You'll always remember that scar. It's about, 'How can I shake back?' In life, you've got to always learn how to shake back and have another elite year."
