After a promising third drive by the Falcons offense which resulted in a field goal, the defense quickly returned the ball to Michael Penix and company after an impressive interception from cornerback Kevin King. Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson targeted his wide receiver near mid-field but King was able to step in front of the ill-fated pass for the pick.

King returned the ball from the 45-yard line to just beyond the 15-yard mark. Check out the interception below, as shared by the NFL's Twitter account:
