The Atlanta Falcons found a way to win on Sunday, Sept. 29 after falling behind to the New Orleans Saints late at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Here are three takeaways from the game:

Tyler Allgeier

Falcons Running Back Tyler Allgeier had a monster third-quarter for Atlanta, refusing to go down on several runs that ate up the clock and sustained drives. He finished with 60 yares on eight carries, which is a whopping 7.5 yard-a-carry average.

The Homecrowd’s Surf Swag Wins Games

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins credited the homecrowd’s surf and swag moment as being a huge atmosphere maker in the stadium.

The Falcons Special Teams Are Special

The Falcons return team started the day off with a huge fumble recovery in the end zone, which set the tone for the game. But that was’nt the end of the stellar play for the under-appreciated special teams squad.

Kicker Younghoe Koo kicked four field goals, including the gamewinner with 7 seconds left.

Let’s shout out the ball-handling special teams unit: 

  • Younghoe Koo: Kicker
  • Bradley Pinion: Punter
  • Liam McCullough: Long snapper

Final Word

The Falcons end the month of September at 2-2, which is a win when you consider the quality of opponents over the next few months.
