Hayden Hurst Finds End Zone In Victory

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught four of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Olamide Zaccheaus Has Quiet Day Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a quiet game in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Zaccheaus caught just two passes for 20 yards- as he took a backseat to the other pass-catchers in Atlanta's offense, mainly Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson. It was a disappointing effort, as Zaccheaus had an opportunity to produce with […]

Tajae Sharpe Posts 53 Receiving Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe caught four passes for 53 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Sharpe led the receiver room in all categories, taking advantage of the added playing time with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) on the sidelines. The veteran wideout showed he can deliver when given the […]

Mike Davis Finds End Zone In Win Over Jets

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis tallied 15 touches for 61 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Jets. Davis struggled to find running room for much of the contest- and lost a fumble, though he salvaged a rough day with a three-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter. The veteran […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 342 Yards, Two Scores In Victory

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 33 of 45 passes for 342 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.
