Kirk Cousins ​​hits Drake London for 14-yard TD, Falcons lead 7-0

The Falcons’ offense picked up where they left off Monday night.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​capped Atlanta’s opening drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Drake London, giving the Falcons an early 7-0 lead over the Chiefs.

Cousins ​​started the game with consecutive passes to receiver Darnell Mooney: the first for 9 yards, the next for 26 yards, bringing Atlanta into Kansas City territory.

Then on third-and-3 in the red zone, Cousins ​​connected with a wide-open Drake London in the end zone for a 14-yard score. There was an obvious coverage error, as no one on Kansas City’s defense was anywhere near the young receiver.

That was the only third down Atlanta faced on their opening drive.

Cousins ​​started 5 of 5 for 66 yards with a TD.

It took just 3:53 for Atlanta to take the field and score.
