CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It had been almost three years since Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell last picked off a quarterback. So, when his fingertips touched a "well-overdue" interception, he had no choice but to take a victory lap.
After his momentum took him out of bounds, Terrell ran down the Carolina Panthers' sideline before his teammates mobbed him on the other side. They, too, understood this was a long time coming for Terrell.
"All the guys come to work with me every day. They know how big that play meant to me, to the whole organization," Terrell said after Sunday's 38-20 win against the Panthers. "Just trying to bring that energy, just trying to close the game out."
Terrell's interception wasn't just special because it was his first since Jan. 2, 2022, it also gave the Falcons a much-needed stop in the fourth quarter of a previously tightly-contested game. The fifth-year corner stole a scoring opportunity from the Panthers, who were deep into Atlanta territory down 28-20 with 10:53 left to play. Before that, it was a back-and-forth affair between quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton.
After Terrell's pick, the Panthers wouldn't score again and the Falcons would run the score up 10 more points to seal the victory and stay on top of the NFC South.
"Those kinds of plays is what's going to separate him from being a very good corner in this league to one of the elites," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said. "We feel like we have one of the elites and that's why we're fortunate to have him on our football team. We're fortunate to draft him. We're fortunate to be able to keep him. We're fortunate to be able to roll him over and give him a new deal."
The Falcons signed the Atlanta native to a four-year, $81 million contract extension knowing Terrell's value extended beyond the stat sheet.
"A.J. does everything right," safety Jessie Bates III said. "... He hasn't had a lot of picks, but that first one is just nice to get off his chest and off his conscience, and now he's able to play free. When something like that happens, A.J. go gets a pick, Clark (Phillips III) gets a pick, and then I get a pick, and everybody's happy in our room."
While Terrell notched his fifth career interception, Phillips caught his first ever in his second season. With time running out, Phillips ended the Panthers' final drive with a pick. He had nothing but space between him and the end zone, but instead of turning it into a pick-six, Phillips ran into the ground just yards from the orange pylon.
The Falcons offense came back on the field with 1:45 left to play, got into victory formation and took a knee to run out the clock.
"Smart. He's smart," Terrell said of Phillips. "I told him, 'I wouldn't have even thought that.' When you get your hands on that ball, you get a free touchdown ... that's definitely a heads-up play for him."
Phillips knew immediately when he caught the ball that he'd have to put the team first. And while it was painful not to cross the goal line, it was a special moment to add another interception in the box score next to Terrell's name.
"It was hype. It was hype because you see the work A.J. puts in day in and day out," Phillips said. "He put (a) good example on for the rest of the guys in the room. So for him to snag one first, it was encouraging. I said, 'I gotta go get one, too.'"
