Falcons Prevail Over Ravens In Final Minute With Roddy White TD Catch; Atlanta Wins 26-21

On a 3rd and 4 near midfield, the Falcons had a chance to burn more of the 3:24 remaining on the clock with a first down. It looks like they had called the right play when Matt Ryan threw it to an open Roddy White on an out route. However, though the pass hit the receiver in his outstretched hands, White couldn’t pull it in.

The Falcons were forced to the Ravens with more than three minutes on the clock and all three of the Baltimore timeouts remaining. If the Ravens should complete the comeback, it should roil no one worse the Roddy White, whose 10 catch, 90 yard performance would be overshadowed by the drop. It is the third time this season White has 10 or mote catches in a game.

The Ravens and Falcons spent the opening quarter driving to near midfield before booting the ball away to the opposition. The second frame opened with an exception. A protracted exception, but an exception.

The Falcons plodded unstoppably down the field on a 14-play, 91-yard drive that ended with a Matt Ryan dumpoff pass to Jason Snelling that went for a 26-yard touchdown. Ravens safety Dawan Landry had a chance to stop Snelling inside the five, but Snelling plowed over him into the end zone.

On the injury front, the Ravens will have everyone except S Tom Zbikowski while the Falcons have three players listed as questionable, including WR Roddy White, but he’s expected to play.
