Without Drake London in the lineup against the Saints, the Atlanta Falcons desperately needed Darnell Mooney to step up and lead the receiver room. And in Week 12, the 28-year-old admirably rose to the occasion by catching Atlanta's longest touchdown pass of the season in the 24-12 win.
In Kirk Cousins' first start since Michael Penix Jr.'s season-ending injury, he and Mooney connected three time for 74 yards and a touchdown that was capped off by a beautiful 49-yard score off play-action. And the strong showing saw OC Zac Robinsonadmit that Cousins has the better connection with Mooney.
