Watch Calvin Ridley's 75-yard touchdown reception for Atlanta Falcons

In his NFL debut on Sept. 6, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley didn't catch a pass. In his second game on Sept. 16, the former Alabama standout had his first reception, first rushing attempt, first kickoff return and first touchdown in the NFL. On Sunday, he had his first big game -- in the first half.

With 2:45 left in the first quarter, Ridley caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Ryan for the Falcons' first points against the New Orleans Saints.

With 2:12 left in the second quarter, Ridley caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Ryan as Atlanta took a 14-13 lead on its NFC South rival.
