Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith didn't take kindly to Jamaal Williams' one-yard touchdown run with 1:10 left in the New Orleans Saints' 48-17 victory Sunday.
Smith was visibly agitated when he walked toward Saints coach Dennis Allen for their postgame handshake.

Allen sympathized with Smith because he had instructed the Saints players to run down the clock.
Mike Triplett @MikeTriplettSaints coach Dennis Allen: I'm gonna start by apologizing to Arthur Smith and the Falcons.<br><br>Said they should've taken a knee. But guys wanted to get Jamaal Williams a TD and that's "unacceptable."<br><br>"That's not who we are, not what we're about."
Katherine Terrell @Kat_TerrellDennis Allen said they asked him if Jamaal Williams could get a TD. He said no, he wanted to take a knee. He said the players ran that play anyway. He said Arthur Smith was right to be upset.
For his part, Smith told reporters a coach "can do whatever you want" toward the end of a blowout, but he's equally empowered to vent his frustration when he believes an opponent is running up the score.
