Cordarrelle Patterson becomes first ever Falcon to score 5 rushing and receiving touchdowns in a season

Cordarrelle Patterson has had a superlative season, one you can’t write or say enough about. Expected to be the team’s kick returner and a useful weapon, Patterson has morphed into the most essential man for this Atlanta Falcons offense, with Pro Bowl caliber production coming along with it.

With his touchdown run in the first quarter against the Panthers, Patterson made franchise history in yet another way. I’ll let Falcons writer Tori McElhaney share the good news here.

Cool stat for you: Cordarrelle Patterson is the first player in franchise history to have five rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns in a single season.
