Jessie Bates had one of the all-time great first games in Falcons history, causing three turnovers and making several important tackles to lead Atlanta to a Week 1 victory against the Carolina Panthers. Considering all three turnovers led to points and stopped Carolina drives cold, it was a game-winning sort of effort for Atlanta’s new elite safety, and the kind of game we’ll remember for years to come.
The league took notice, as they should, and now Bates is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 1.
