ATLANTA — Reuniting with loved ones you haven’t seen in a while is a hallmark of the holiday season. On Sunday, a young Falcons fan got to do just that with an unexpected family reunion.

What makes the moment special? Devin’s father, Sgt. Brown, has been deployed in the Middle East for the last nine months.
Take a look at the moment Devin realized his father was back home in time for Christmas.
The Falcons ended up defeating the Giants, 34-7, in Michael Penix Jr.’s first NFL start. But the biggest winner of the day was the Brown family.
