In the video, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith goes up to Saints head coach Dennis Allen and expresses his ire at Allen. The two also did not shake hands.
According to ESPN's Katherine Terrell, the incident stemmed from a play where the Saints pretended to kneel down only for Jamaal Williams to run in for a touchdown. According to Allen, the players ran that play despite him wanting to take the knee.
