Touchdown catches on highlight reels sometimes come at a cost. Atlanta’s Drake London picked off a pass from Kirk Cousins to put the Falcons up 7-3 over the Cowboys in the first quarter on Sunday. But London hit the ground hard and was soon ruled out for the remainder of the match due to a hip injury.
London stayed on the field long enough to celebrate the touchdown, but left the game shortly afterwards. His line: two targets, two receptions, 27 yards, one touchdown.
On Sunday, London led all Falcons receivers with 525 yards and five touchdowns, with Darnell Mooney a close second with 500 yards and four scores, respectively. Both London and Mooney scored in the first half on Sunday. Atlanta has an array of offensive weapons, but London is a key contributor to the resurgent Falcons’ offense, and any absence could make Atlanta’s quest for a division title a little more difficult.
