"Walker didn't stuff the stat sheet like last week, but his presence was felt all game. He was once again a force against the run and pass. His motor stands out every play, and he was rewarded for it on James Pearce Jr.'s strip sack. The Falcons defense is a sack-generating machine, and Walker is a big part of that."
"As far as end-of-the-bench offensive line performances go, this one was certified elite. It was mentioned pregame that Hinton grew up in Germany and even played football there; the player looked like he was home. Most of the issues and surrendered pressures in the game weren't his fault, and that's really all you can ask for from a guy of his caliber when plugged into the lineup."
"Allgeier averaged 3.82 yards after contact per attempt, his highest mark of the season and good for a total of 42 yards after contact per PFF. The running back also forced four missed tackles, his second-highest mark of the season. Allgeier pushed this team into overtime and had the best individual performance on offense yesterday. His two-touchdown performance was unfortunately wasted, and that feeling of waste will soon apply to his Falcons career."
Atlanta Falcons have lost four straight. Walker did not fill the stat sheet but impacted the game against run and pass and was rewarded on James Pearce Jr.'s strip sack. The Falcons defense remains sack-generating with Walker contributing as a looper and crasher. Hinton delivered an elite reserve offensive-line performance, played football in Germany, and avoided most pressures. Allgeier averaged 3.82 yards after contact per attempt, forced four missed tackles, pushed the team into overtime, and scored two touchdowns that were ultimately wasted. Penix had an unacceptable second half, missing throws under pressure and when clean, with disconnected feet, poor hip mechanics, and difficulty turning his back to the defense.
