[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] clutch for Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints
Altanta Falcons tight end [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] faced a variety of coverage schemes Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Cornerbacks, safeties, linebackers and double-teams confronted him. But [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] found openings, and quarterback Matt Ryan found [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Showing the skills that earned him 10 trips to the Pro Bowl, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] caught eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 27-24 overtime victory. Seven of his catches produced first downs, and he also drew a 25-yard pass interference penalty against safety Roman Harper on a touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
"It wasn't really too many new plays in the plan," said [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who increased his career totals to 1,011 catches for 11,971 yards and 83 touchdowns.
On the Falcons' scoring drive in the first quarter, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] did most of the damage. His three catches on the drive accounted for 61 of the 80 yards. He was open in the middle of the field for a 34-yard gain that put the ball on the Saints' 16, and he scored the touchdown on a 13-yard reception.
On the Falcons' 19-play, 72-yard scoring drive in the second quarter, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] made two 9-yard receptions. The first converted a third-and-4 from the Atlanta 45, and the second, on a fourth-and-2 play from the Saints' 11, gave the Falcons first-and-goal at the 2.
"It's a big win, going 2-1, but it's still early, " [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said. "It's a long season. We're going to take a lot of confidence out of this, on their home turf, but it wasn't easy."
