Tennessee Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins is proving he has much more left in the tank than some of the team's previous veteran receiver signings.
There was some Clemson-on-Clemson crime during Sunday's NFL action. In the game between the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons in Nashville, DeAndre Hopkins hauled in a 47-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter from Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis for the latter's first career TD.
Desmond Ridder passed and ran for touchdowns, providing an answer to those who had called for him to be benched, Younghoe Koo kicked a go-ahead 37-yard field goal as time expired, and the Atlanta Falcons snapped a two-game skid by beating the Houston Texans 21-19 on Sunday. Ridder's 6-yard TD pass to rookie running back Bijan Robinson and 2-point pass to Tyler Allgeier gave the Falcons (3-2) a 15-12 lead early in the fourth quarter.
A fast start, and a home win, could take some heat off Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder. Back-to-back losses have dropped the Falcons (2-2) to .500 entering Sunday's game against rookie C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans (2-2). The Texans will be trying for their first three-game winning streak since 2018.
