00:00On the other side of things, it was an absolutely horrible passing offense for the Falcons.
00:08It truly was.
00:09Kirk Cousins, 11 of 17, 17 passing attempts for 112 yards.
00:14I said at halftime, I was taking under 183 yards, he ends with 112, so we can cash that.
00:20One passing touchdown, and of course, one interception along with some sacks.
00:24Drake London had a great start to the game with that long 30-yard reception for the touchdown,
00:28so he cashes in on that, and I was very excited about Drake London, because consistently,
00:33he had been getting to 60, 70, 80, if not over 100 yards in this last four-game stretch
00:36when he had 46 targets.
00:38He finally finds the end zone.
00:39He does fall short of his prop for the Atlanta passing offense.
00:44Vinny, if we have the graphics for the wide receivers from this second game, Drake London
00:48falls under his receiving prop, obviously scores the touchdown.
00:52Only three targets from Drake London's obviously a bit of a concern, considering the overall
00:57passing volume from the Falcons.
01:00Now, we can look at this and say, well, they just moved the ball so effectively on the ground.
01:04Yeah, Bijan Robinson, 22 for 125, absolutely awesome game from him.
01:09Obviously, Tyler Algier playing a bit of a complementary role, 12 carries for 43 yards,
01:15his line was sitting at 15 and a half rushing yards at halftime, which I said I was very
01:18interested in.
01:19He does hit the over on that.
01:20I did make a case against Robinson at halftime, just going over 107, I thought was a bit much,
01:25but he does break off that long 29 yard run and ends with one at 25 total.
01:29So all in all, an acceptable game from the Falcons.
01:34I'm not going to say it's good and it's definitely not great, but it's an acceptable game from
01:38the Falcons, considering that they were on a four game losing streak.
01:42And it was a kind of a similar situation for them in the Vikings, where they just needed
01:46to come away with the win.
01:47So the Falcons more so, just because they had been reeling over the past few weeks on
01:51this losing streak, they needed to come away with the win and they did.
01:55It was not pretty, but it is an acceptable win.
01:58And now they have to, they have to get things going over the next few weeks.
02:01And as we talked about on the pregame show, the end of their season is pretty solid.
02:06Great to the commanders, not the easiest matchup, you know, in terms of a real team, their defense
02:10still has some questions, but they play the Giants next week, then the commanders, then
02:14they close things out with the Panthers.
02:15There's a chance for the Falcons to pick up two more wins and end the season nine and
02:20eight.
02:21It would be if they win those two games, they're going to need a lot of help when it comes
02:24to making the playoffs.
02:25They need, obviously, the Bucs to lose, who do control the division because, you know,
02:29we're there on the standings right now.
