Good call on leaping. He started too far back. Could also have called hitting the holder

Leaping Penalty

Leaping to block a kick may be illegal under Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(q) of the NFL rules. Article 1 of Section 3 lists all acts that the NFL considers to be unsportsmanlike conduct, which includes, “Running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or (extra point) …” Players lined up within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped are exempt from the leaping penalty. The NCAA has a similarly worded rule that applies to college football, although the college penalty is considered a personal foul.

Something is different with our RB's. They're running patiently. They don't typically do that. Is Arian in the film room with them or something?
 
While I always heard Falcons were masters of the choke, I refused to believe there was a team that could go 5-0 and still miss the playoffs. That's almost historically bad.

Since 1990, 4 teams have done it ('93 Saints, '03 Vikings, '09 Giants, '09 Broncos; Broncos and Vikings started 6-0, Vikings finished 9-7, everyone else finished 8-8)

Saints' Defense solves a lot of offensive problems. Redskins ran for over 200 yards against them.
Oh yeah. Thanks.
Gonna go back over some of the game later though. Usually Blue sees a pile and runs into it. That last play of his was impressive, considering.

It's not that unheard of, though it's hilarious everytime:
