Falcons defense forces fumble in first quarter vs. Raiders
Briefly

Atlanta Falcons’ defense has struggled recently, having recorded only one takeaway over their last five games. However, during Monday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, they matched that lackluster total in just the first quarter, showcasing a renewed energy and aggressiveness right out of the gate. This early turnover was critical in giving the Falcons favorable field position and setting the tone for the matchup.
The pivotal moment came when cornerback Dee Alford stepped up to force a fumble from Alexander Mattison, and Kevin King was quick to recover the loose ball. This play not only gave the Falcons a much-needed takeaway but also demonstrated a significant turnaround for a defense that had been lackluster in recent outings in terms of creating turnovers.
