Tony Gonzalez Jersey clutch for Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints
Altanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez Jersey faced a variety of coverage schemes Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Cornerbacks, safeties, linebackers and double-teams confronted him. But Tony Gonzalez Jersey found openings, and quarterback Matt Ryan found Tony Gonzalez Jersey.
Showing the skills that earned him 10 trips to the Pro Bowl, Tony Gonzalez Jersey 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 Tony Gonzalez Jersey, 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, Tony Gonzalez Jersey 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, Tony Gonzalez Jersey 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, " Tony Gonzalez Jersey 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." |
