Reporter accidentally walks off with Kyle Shanahan's backpack

...which, incidentally, contained the Falcons game plan for this Sunday.

He returned it a few hours later "after realizing the mistake".

The reporter in question, ironically enough, is employed by a San Francisco newspaper.

But hey, if Sunday's game is a blowout win for the Patriots, weeeellll...

LOL! In all likelihood just an innocent mistake, but it always makes you wonder when something like this happens. Especially when the Pats are involved.

It's absolutely an innocent mistake.

After nearly 30 minutes of searching and frantic phone calls, Spander returned with Shanahan’s bag. The coach was undeniably relieved.

“That would have been bad,” he said in a text message to USA TODAY Sports.

Spander, 78, is covering his 40th Super Bowl. He had no idea he had taken the wrong bag until contacted by a fellow writer.

“I’ve screwed up before, but I’ve never picked up the wrong bag,” Spander told USA TODAY Sports. “And there’s no way I’d have a game plan.”

But given the circumstances, the history and the reputation of the Patriots, it's also funny as hell.

And if Sunday's game is a blowout, I guarantee you there'll be Falcon fans pointing to this story.

The Pats don't even need to cheat to win this one. Everybody points to the game sealing pick in their win over the Seahawks in '14 but the real story of that game is Dan Quinn's defense getting completely destroyed by the Pats and allowing them to come back from down two scores in the 4th to win it, even with all the insane talent the Hawks had on D then. 

Pats are going to score at will on the Falcons D as they have a better offense now than they did against that Hawks D then and Belichick is going to outcoach and outprepare Quinn and Shanahan.

False. Wilson completed 12 passes all game. The Seahawks ran lynch to death that game because they got comfortable with the lead.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
