The Atlanta Falcons pulled out a low-scoring affair over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon, and the final drive proved to be the difference.
It was then that quarterback Desmond Ridder, faults included, took the reins of the offense and came through when needed.
Not only did this serve as Atlanta's first round win of the season , but it came over a division rival after a disheartening loss to the Washington Commanders a week prior. Quarterback Desmond Ridder has been maligned in the early portions of this campaign, and rightfully so, and even though he did not account for a score in aFinally, it's time to once again praise Younghoe Koo.
Sunday's game against the Bucs was not without its fair share of faults, but a win is a win, and it was an important one for Atlanta. Showing this late-game grit can maybe establish some key momentum in the weeks ahead. Copyright ABG-SI LLC. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED is a registered trademark of ABG-SI LLC. All Rights Reserved.
