Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson had yet another huge day for the team, though they suffered a 34-30 defeat at the hands of the Washington Football Team.
Patterson continues to dominate. His signing with the Falcons went under the radar in the offseason, and it seemed as though he would be the No. 3 option in the backfield once training camp started. But he's emerged as a real weapon, both running the ball and acting as a receiver. Patterson and Matt Ryan are developing a ton of chemistry early in the season.
Patterson carried the ball 6 times for 34 yards, a modest total. But he got a ton of work in the passing game, hauling in 5 of his 6 targets with 82 yards and 3 touchdowns.
