The Atlanta Falcons got a little more than they bargained for when they took on the Dallas Cowboys inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday.

Both teams came into that game desperately needing to win, but the Falcons had no clue that one of their players would be dealing with a ref positioning himself behind him in a sexual way.

While up 27-21 in the fourth quarter, the Atlanta Falcons were getting set to run a play when a ref suddenly jumped in and started to grab the hips of guard Ryan Neuzil while he was still bent over.

He stayed there for several seconds before everyone got up out of their positions.

Social media got one look at the ref positioning himself behind that Atlant Falcons player, and jokes began to fly:

Yikes.

As for the game, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes, and the Falcons maintained their hold on first place in the NFC South with a 27-21 victory over the struggling Cowboys, who dropped to 3-5 and remained in third place in the NFC East.

Cousins completed 19 of 24 passes for 222 yards, including 13 in a row at one point for the Falcons, who are now 6-3.

The Cowboys almost completed a comeback as they tried to rally behind Cooper Rush after Prescott was ruled out, having completed 18 of 24 for 133 yards and a touchdown.

Rush guided an 86-yard drive in the closing minutes, capped by a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert and a 2-point conversion.

However, the Atlanta Falcons recovered an onside kick to seal the victory.

The Atlanta Falcons Have Rebounded Nicely After Early Struggles

The Atlanta Falcons are one of the hottest teams in the league.

The team started the year 1-2, and many were already writing them off as a pretender that would not make any noise after they signed QB Kirk Cousins.

They have only lost one game since, as they currently stand at 6-3.
