Kwon Alexander's playing his best game with a heavy heart

Kwon Alexander has an interception, ripped a ball out of Julio Jones' hands and had another takeaway called back because Jacquies Smith jumped offside. The rookie middle linebacker is having a huge game, but at the half Lovie Smith said that he was playing with a "heavy heart." That's because his little brother passed away a few days ago -- and Alexander didn't just decide to play, he had the best game of his life.

I miss my lil brother man ! I can't believe you left me man! I know you looking over me right now! Man I just wish you was here man! I can't believe you gone man ! I love you man! I can't even sleep right now bruh ! I'm hurting so bad in the inside man! I love you man ! I will play for you bro the rest of my career because I know you would want me ball for ya ! I love you man! Big bro gone hold it down mane! #RIPLILBROD
