Falcons' Desmond Ridder tosses 2 INTs, says he did 'terrible job'

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder says he did "a terrible job of taking care of the ball" in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.

Ridder threw interceptions on back-to-back plays in the loss, with the first getting returned 61 yards by Jacksonville cornerback Darious Williams for a touchdown. On the next offensive play, Ridder's pass intended for tight end Kyle Pitts was picked off by Jaguars safety Andre Cisco. It's the first time a quarterback has thrown interceptions on back-to-back offensive plays since Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa did it in Week 13 last season against the San Francisco.
