The Atlanta Falcons offense was obviously feeling left out, so they brought out their special weapon: Chris Blair. Easton Stick and the Falcons offense went 70 yards in six plays, including three targets to Blair, to perfectly execute their two-minute drill. Blair reeled in all three targets for 55 yards, ending with a beautiful over-the-shoulder grab despite defensive pass interference from safety Erick Hallett.
Stick’s performance in the first half put up some impressive numbers, bolstered mostly from the final drive, where he went 6-for-6 for 70 yards, including the Blair touchdown. Stick found Dylan Drummond a team-high eight times on eight targets for 62 yards, including a 25-yard catch-and-run to get the Falcons into Detroit territory in the middle of the 2nd quarter.
With the run game not giving much help, seven carries for four yards, Stick had to carry much of the brunt of moving the offense down the field. With the touchdown drive, he put a nice exclamation point on a good first-half performance before his competition, Emory Jones, takes the field.
