Madden 17 Helps Falcons Bypass NFL's No-Gif Rule
NFL teams aren't allowed to share videos (or gifs) of their games on social media, but the Atlanta Falcons have found a clever workaround: Madden NFL 17.
To highlight a catch by Julio Jones, the team turned to a video game facsimile of the moment rather than real footage, then posted it to Twitter.

It's certainly amusing, but remember: You can't assume everything you see in Madden is a reflection of reality.
