The Atlanta Falcons received the second-half kickoff down 17-10 against the Washington Commanders in Week 6 of NFL action. With the Falcons facing a second-and-7 from their 45-yard line, they handed the ball to the versatile Cordarrelle Patterson. What initially looked like it could be a big play was stopped by defensive end Montez Sweat.
Unfortunately, Sweat injured his thumb, and the team called him questionable to return.

Sweat’s loss is a big one for Washington, but fortunately for the Commanders, Casey Toohill relieved him and immediately made a play, bringing down Atlanta quarterback Desmond Ridder for a key sack on third down.
Toohill also had another pressure on Ridder.
