As expected, Matt Bryant's 53-yarder is right through the uprights. #Falcons take a 3-0 lead. Couple of missed shots, but a good start.

Keanu is always looking to jar the ball loose. He truly practices what Dan Quinn preaches. #Falcons

Keanu Neal forced five fumbles last season. None of them were recovered. Nice to see him finally getting rewarded for his work. #ATLvsCAR
