Colts Sauce Gardner vs Falcons Drake London turns into must-see battle
London, the third-highest paid receiver in the NFL, made a few plays, but Gardner and the rest of the Colts secondary acquitted themselves well
In a must-see showdown at the Colts' joint practices, Indianapolis star receiver Sauce Gardner faced off against Falcons star wideout Drake London. The intense one-on-one drills highlighted the two players at the pinnacle of their abilities. In the first drill, Gardner managed to jam London at the line of scrimmage, but the Falcons star managed to catch the ball while making an acrobatic leaping catch.
The second matchup saw Gardner forcing London to the sideline, and the Falcons' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had to throw wide of the sideline, resulting in an incomplete pass. In the third and final one-on-one drill, Gardner broke up London's catch by driving hard on a slant, knocking the ball away. In 11-on-11 drills later, Gardner intercepted London on a short catch, and the Colts' free safety Camryn Bynum knocked down a long throw from Tagovailoa down the sideline.
Despite London's two touchdown catches later in practice, the Indianapolis defense shut down both of Atlanta's offenses, winning the game.
