Falcons would then put on a huge drive with a 21-yard pass to Mooney which led to a touchdown pass to Drake London and the Falcons go ahead 22-21 with 34 seconds left in the game. The Eagles would try to throw a long pass, but it was intercepted by Jessie Bates as Kaden Elliss gave the pressure to Hurts in the pocket. Atlanta escapes with the road win and heads home 1-1 heading into next week’s battle with the Kansas City Chiefs.
