In the week leading up to the Falcons’ Week 4 game against the Browns, running back Cordarrelle Patterson missed two days of practice with a knee injury.
While Patterson did ultimately end up playing, he received just nine carries on the day. His lack of touches created an opportunity for the team’s other running backs to shine on Sunday, and that’s just what they did. Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley each carried the ball 10 times in Week 4, combining for 140 rushing yards.
