Sep 17, 2024, 02:14 AM

In a thrilling Monday Night Football game, the Atlanta Falcons took a 15-10 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles. The pivotal moment came when Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins connected with wide receiver Darnell Mooney for a 42-yard touchdown. The touchdown followed a gutsy 4th-and-4 conversion from the Falcons' own 47-yard line, where Cousins completed an 8-yard pass to Kyle Pitts. Mooney's touchdown, which included a front flip into the end zone, was his first of the season. The Falcons attempted a two-point conversion but failed. Earlier in the game, Eagles kicker Elliott made a 29-yard field goal to put the Eagles up 10-9. The Falcons' scoring drive covered 70 yards in 7 plays and took 3 minutes and 7 seconds. Mooney had one catch for 15 yards in Week 1. The touchdown came with 1:21 left in the third quarter.
