"With Ray-Ray McCloud inactive, Sills was the third receiver for much of the game, and did not receive a target while throwing some nice blocks. Casey Washington, who was targeted twice, also was a key blocking option. It's fair to suggest that if Darnell Mooney isn't going to be back, the Falcons have to figure out who they can throw the ball to in this receiving corps outside of Drake London, because neither Sills or Washington seems to be a consistent option in that regard."
"The big change in the secondary was Alford in at nickel for Billy Bowman Jr., who was out with an injury; Alford had previously started two games in place of an injured A.J. Terrell outside. All he did was earn a sack, pick off Josh Allen, and look comfortable and physical in a way he rarely did last year. Jimmy Lake owes that man a fruit basket."
Ray-Ray McCloud was inactive, leaving Tajae Sills as the third receiver who did not receive targets but provided effective blocks; Casey Washington contributed as a blocking target. The absence of Darnell Mooney exposes limited receiving depth beyond Drake London and creates urgency to identify consistent pass-catching options. Tight ends saw expanded roles: Kyle Pitts had the third-highest target share (four targets), Charlie Woerner functioned as a dominant blocker, Feleipe Franks added trick-play value, and Teagan Quitoriano offered additional blocking support. The offensive line, highlighted by Mike Jerrell stepping in at left tackle, performed well. Alford’s move to nickel produced a sack and an interception, and the defensive-line rotation delivered impactful, fresh play late in the game.
