SEPT 18 ADORABLE? What an adorable story it would be if the Atlanta Falcons are telling the truth. In their 22-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, the Bucs’ NFC South rivals featured a celebration that included Drake London – who caught the game-winning TD – performing a “machine gun” act.
The mimicking of the shooting of a gun is considered by the NFL a “violent gesture.” But Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is pretending it was no such thing.
“He probably was shooting T-shirts into the stands, to be honest with you, because he’s just that kind of a guy,” Morris said.
Really? Morris is doing his young player no favors here. The Falcons would be better off learning from this than lying about it.
SEPT 17 UPSET Kirk Cousins beat the odds in more ways that one, leading his Falcons to a “Monday Night Football” upset win at Philadelphia. … a 22-21 decision that allows Atlanta to stay within early NFC South range of the 2-0 Bucs and 2-0 Saints.
The Falcons were down six with 1:39 remaining when Cousins pushed them 70 yards and then eventually found wide receiver Drake London for a 7-yard, go-ahead touchdown with 34 seconds left.
