If the Falcons do decide to not get in on a Jeff Okudah sweepstakes this offseason, Phillips could be the reason why.Ĭlark Phillips III with the huge PD!! PRO UTES /wdqGXy9FjK- MUSSEMERITUS DecemThree Down Falcons’ injury luck

He broke up two passes and didn’t allow a catch on six targets. Mike Evans barely scratched the stat sheet, and Chris Godwin was held to 53 yards Phillips had a big hand in that. Phillips earned his first start on Sunday, and he handled himself very well.

This is his second straight appearance on this list, so I’ll keep it short. I’m not saying the offensive line was excellent on Sunday, but they did more than we could have expected. Tampa Bay did sack Desmond Ridder three times, but all three involved other factors than pure offensive line play. Yes, Vita Vea was out for this game, but the Bucs are still a big-boy defensive front to match up against and the Falcons picked up 23 first downs and over 430 yards. If the Falcons had won this game, one of the positive story lines would have been the performance of Atlanta’s backup offensive linemen. What an adjustment in the air and catch by Drake London /HUjRwUoz4a- Ted Nguyen DecemOffensive line depth In fact, London had the most receiving yards by a Falcon since Julio Jones’s 173-yard performance against the Bengals in Week 4 of the 2018 season. His 10 catches and 172 yards on Sunday were both career highs and London will very likely surpass Julio Jones-perhaps this weekend-for the most receptions in a player’s first two seasons. In other words, he’s showing exactly the type of growth you’d want from a young No. That’s no slight to either Bijan Robinson or Kyle Pitts, but London’s production continues to tick upward while becoming a bit more consistent. Of all three first-round picks in the Fontenot-Smith era, London may end up being the best. Let’s sort through that all, shall we? Here are the players and units who nearly pulled the Falcons to victory, and those who didn’t have the best day. As with the vast majority of Atlanta’s games this season, there were some genuine bright spots blotted out by gigantic black holes of momentum death. The Atlanta Falcons are right back in the thick of things after failing to sweep the leg. Another week, another game that we might one day look back upon as the day things became different for the Falcons. Oh, remember this place? Yeah, this place is the worst.
