Week 7: Atlanta Falcons @ Cincinnati Bengals
Best play: Marcus Mariota hits Damiere Byrd for a 75-yard touchdown
The Atlanta Falcons looked about ten steps slower than the Cincinnati Bengals to start the game. They were getting thrashed as Joe Burrow made it look easy against a banged-up defense. The Falcons finally showed life right before half as Marcus Mariota hit Damiere Byrd on the first play of the drive for a 75-yard touchdown which gave the Falcons a glimmer of hope.

Now, name another accurate deep pass by Marcus Mariota last season...
All jokes aside, this was a pretty pass for Mariota at the perfect time. Obviously, it did not end up mattering as the Bengals showed the talent gap between these two teams.
