We’ve been waiting for Takkarist McKinley to pick up his first NFL sack, and with his first extended action thanks to Vic Beasley’s absence, he got it.
Takk was one of the better Falcons defenders on the field, once again, and finally his efforts wound up reflected on the stat sheet. Along with Adrian Clayborn, he was one of just two Falcons to pick up a sack against Matthew Stafford, who enjoyed fairly clean pockets most of the day. For one play, at least, Takk fixed his little red wagon.
