The NFL has tightened its grip on who can create and share highlights, extending the restrictions to its own teams.
The Atlanta Falcons are having none of it.
Various teams have been creative in how to get around the new restrictions, flirting with the idea of a fine that could cost the team $100,000. Atlanta might have found the ultimate loophole—Madden:

Watch for other teams to steal this idea because it’s downright gold. Imagine working for a team’s social media account and getting asked to recreate a highlight from a live game in Madden. Dream job? Indeed.
The Falcons were rolling at the time of the awesome tweet, which is what happens when the ball gets to Julio Jones. Heading toward halftime, though, the Falcons fell behind the San Diego Chargers 10-6.
Rest assured the Falcons will have plenty more Madden highlights on the way as the two defenses continue to struggle.
