Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has encountered a great deal of scrutiny this season for his performance on the field.
Ridder, who made his third consecutive start on Sunday against the Buccaneers since he was benched, delivered a perfect example for why he has experienced the on-the-field criticism when he failed to connect with running back Bijan Robison on a wide-open touchdown pass.
On third-and-goal from the Buccaneers’ 3-yard line, Robinson ran freely into the right flat, but Ridder’s pass was slightly overthrown for the rookie running back. With the incomplete pass, NFL fans ripped the second-year signal-caller on social media.
