At MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ., on Sunday, the Falcons picked up their second consecutive win, beating the Jets, 13-8.
Desmond Ridder finished with one passing touchdown, connecting with MyCole Pruitt for his first receiving touchdown this season in the second quarter. The touchdown drive was set up by a Jets turnover. Falcons linebacker Nate Landman forced a fumble out of Jets running back Dalvin Cook, and Falcons cornerback Dee Alford recovered the loose ball.
Ridder’s passing touchdown was his eighth this season and his tenth career passing TD.
Pruitt’s receiving touchdown was his first this season and 12th career receiving TD. He had a career-high four receiving touchdowns in 2022.
