During the Falcons' 23-7 loss to the Jaguars in London, receiver Mack Hollins appeared to get frustrated at quarterback Desmond Ridder following a failed connection. The scene summed up a frustrating offensive day for Atlanta, as Ridder threw for just 191 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, including a pick-six.
Despite the altercation, Ridder defended his teammate, saying that Hollins was just showing his frustration over the offense failing to meet expectations.
“I was coming over saying whatever and he just had a break of emotion. We have a standard of play for this offense … and we haven’t been playing to it,” Ridder said, via The Athletic’s Josh Kendall. “He felt it was necessary to let his emotions out.”
