DEVONTA FREEMAN IS AN EVERY-DOWN BACK
One of the silver linings for the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday was once again the play of RB Devonta Freeman. Freeman, starting his fourth career game against the Saints, totaled 100 yards again, and scored 2 touchdowns. He now has 10 touchdowns this season.
Devonta Freeman now leads the league in rushing with 505 yards in 2015, and touchdowns with 10. Though both his scores on Thursday in the end did not help the Atlanta Falcons overcome their deficit, it proved that the running game is back in full force in Atlanta, and that Devonta Freeman shows no signs of slowing down.
