Matt Bryant. Is. Still. Matt Bryant. Important to get some points there. Plus the Falcons picked up a couple of 3rd down conversions. A 10 play drive without a penalty. That’s growth.

This drive is much more reminiscent of what the #Falcons offense looked like last year and in the preseason. Nice flow to it, and the players are making clutch plays.

Dontari Poe and Ben Garland both blocking on the touchdown. That's how you score in the red zone. Nicely done by Sark. #DALvsATL

Did you see that #Cowboys DL when Dontari Poe blasted into it? Wow, what a battering ram... #DALvsATL

Fourth sack of the game for Adrian Clayborn. That's the second most in a single game in franchise history, since sacks become official in 1982. #Falcons

This is just a joke. Chaz Green even with help can't even TOUCH Adrian Clayborn. He just takes off like a sprinter at Dak. On your mark, get set, SACK.
