In Week 5, Falcons wide receiver Drake London turned in one of the best games of his short career, finishing Thursday night’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 12 catches for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown.
London and fellow wideout Darnell Mooney combined for 22 catches for 259 receiving and three touchdowns in an aerial display by the Falcons offense. Quarterback Kirk Cousins passed for a franchise record 509 yards in the team’s Week 5 win.
Even Kyle Pitts got involved with a seven-catch, 88-yard performance. London shined the brightest on Thursday night, though. The third-year wide receiver has been hindered by poor quarterback play over his first two seasons, but Cousins is getting London the ball thus far in 2024.
For the season, London has 32 catches for 354 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Watch all 12 of London’s catches from Sunday’s NFC South win, as shared by the NFL’s Twitter account below:
