The Atlanta Falcons made the long trip to London this week for their game against the New York Jets, and it appears they forgot to pack an important piece of equipment.
Prior to kickoff, some Falcons staffers were spotted on the sideline rigging up a makeshift kicking net. They used two step ladders and a net from a goal.
