These were great catches by London as well as great passes from Ridder, who knew his fellow rookie is good enough to get up and high point the throws as long as he used the right amount of touch. On the first throw, the quarterback did a great job of stepping up and delivering the downfield strike between the defender and the sideline as he was getting hit.
These were the kinds of throws that just a week ago were sailing too high or ending up too far behind the receiver. Ridder is getting better at making more accurate throws downfield as he gets more starts under his belt, which is a really good sign for the Falcons’ offense as a whole. If their quarterback can step up and make big throws like he did in Baltimore to complement the run game, Atlanta is set up for more success than what they saw with Mariota under center.
The Falcons may have lost 17-9 without reaching the end zone once, but Ridder took a clear step forward in his development. It’s only one game, but if he continues this development with his arm and decision-making skills in the remaining two weeks, Atlanta may not have to worry about bringing in a new quarterback next year.
