While promoting his new Peacock series 'Fight Night', Samuel L. Jackson paid tribute to the Atlanta Falcons for 'Sunday Night Football'.

During the segment, Jackson also recalls selling concessions at the Falcons’ former Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium home in the ’60s. He studied dramatic arts at Atlanta’s Morehouse College before breaking out as an actor. Based on the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast, Fight Night follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the ‘Black Mecca’.
