The Atlanta Falcons offense is making a statement tonight against the Buffalo Bills: We are just as physical as you are. There’s no better testament to that than Drake London’s nine-yard touchdown grab to give the Falcons the lead back late in the first quarter against Buffalo.
Five receptions, 64 yards, one touchdown. Drake London has made his presence known in this game and the Falcons continue to show they can hang with the best teams in the NFL.
At least for the first 15 minutes.
Atlanta’s nine-play, 66-yard drive looked dead in the water after a pre-snap penalty, the second of the young game, that threatened to make quick work of a drive Atlanta needed after forcing a three-and-out. But a few nice runs, an explosive Drake London grab, and a final 22-yard explosive run from Bijan Robinson put them in range to score.
Drake London, Michael Penix, Jr. and the Falcons offense came into the day 25th in red zone percentage with 46.2% of red zone visits ending in touchdowns. And in this game, touchdowns are going to be paramount.
