The Atlanta Falcons have yet to score an offensive touchdown but they’ve made their share of plays against New Orleans Saints. In the third quarter, wide receiver Darnell Mooney stretched the defense with a 36-yard reception with a defender draped over him.
Cousins threw a nice ball with enough air for Mooney to reach out for the catch. Mooney leads the team with 56 receiving yards on three receptions. Watch the play below, as shared by the team’s Twitter account.
