"The Colts were 15-of-17 on 4th down heading into today's game. The Falcons made sure that was 15-of-18 to start the game. After the Colts drove down the field with relative ease, Dee Alford made a huge play to keep the ball out of the end zone and back into the hands of the Falcons offense. Jessie Bates also had two great plays on the opening drive: Causing a fumble that was recovered by a Colts offensive lineman."
"With the Sauce Gardner trade, that became the marquee matchup heading into this game. Drake London made sure that Gardner and this Colts secondary knew from the get-go that he was not trapped in this game with them; they are locked in for 60 minutes with him. London beats the Colts' defense on a deep crosser for a massive 30-yard pass to get the Falcons drive, directly after the strip-sack, going."
The Falcons fell to the Indianapolis Colts in overtime despite several encouraging performances. Drake London produced a big receiving day with multiple key plays, including a 30-yard deep crosser. The Falcons' pass rush delivered a massive impact and the running game showed signs of resurgence with Bijan Allgeier finishing an 81-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown. Dee Alford forced a critical play to prevent a Colts touchdown and Jessie Bates generated a turnover and tight coverage that created a fourth-down stop. Colts fourth-down efficiency was high entering the game and the matchup ultimately ended in a narrow overtime loss.
