It’s Super Bowl week! And it’s advice Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman and his agent should have heeded before making themselves the first major distraction of Super Bowl week, with their ill-timed contract demand on Monday afternoon. The Patriots’ foe in Super Bowl LI, the NFC champion Falcons, arrived here a day earlier. The Falcons held a walkthrough practice on Monday at Rice University on a gorgeous, summery day of 26 C and sunshine. Now we’re in the Super Bowl, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
