On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Atlanta Falcons 20-17 to snap a horrible seven-game losing streak that was one of the worst in franchise history. This was also the first game Darren Rizzi served as the head coach.
Going into the game, the Falcons had a 6-3 record and were on top of the NFC South, so this was a huge win for the Saints.
It called for an exciting celebration for coaches and players on the field, but during that celebration, it appeared that Rizzi started to stumble and had to grab onto one of his players to stay up.
Prayers up: #Saints head coach Darren Rizzi appears to have suffered a serious injury after the game celebrating his first win.
🙏🙏🙏
Rizzi, being the football guy that he is, appeared to try to tough it out.

A few players gathered around him to ensure Rizzi was okay, as he gave a few pats on the head defensive lineman Payton Turner.
There has not been any word on what exactly happened, but you have to hope that it was nothing serious and possibly something as small as a rolled ankle.
Fans Are Praying For Darren Rizzi
The strange injury has caused many fans to pray and hope he is okay.
