Hall in Middle of Melee Against Old Team

The Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) -- Former Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall was in the middle of a melee that broke out on the Atlanta sideline after a late hit by a Washington Redskins teammate.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was running for a first down and had just stepped out of bounds when LaRon Landry delivered a blow to the back late in the second quarter of Sunday's game. As yellow flags flew, Hall jumped into the middle of things and was entirely surrounded by Atlanta players and coach Mike Smith.

Hall appeared to be pulled away before any punches were thrown. He had talked all week of being bitter at the way he was treated by the Falcons, who traded him after the 2007 season. He played in Atlanta for four years and made the Pro Bowl twice.
