Austin Hooper has really improved after the catch. Didn't think he had it in him. #DALvsATL

Matt Bryant. Is. Still. Matt Bryant. Important to get some points there. Plus the Falcons picked up a couple of 3rd down conversions. A 10 play drive without a penalty. That’s growth.

This drive is much more reminiscent of what the #Falcons offense looked like last year and in the preseason. Nice flow to it, and the players are making clutch plays.

DONTARI POE IS IN THE BACKFIELD THIS IS NOT A DRILL! #Falcons

Dontari Poe and Ben Garland both blocking on the touchdown. That's how you score in the red zone. Nicely done by Sark. #DALvsATL
— Allen Strk (@Allen_Strk) November 12, 2017

Did you see that #Cowboys DL when Dontari Poe blasted into it? Wow, what a battering ram... #DALvsATL

Fourth sack of the game for Adrian Clayborn. That's the second most in a single game in franchise history, since sacks become official in 1982. #Falcons

This is just a joke. Chaz Green even with help can't even TOUCH Adrian Clayborn. He just takes off like a sprinter at Dak. On your mark, get set, SACK.
