Undrafted rookie Jack Strand stepped up in the third quarter, completing 12 of 17 passes for 212 yards, two touchdowns (including a rushing touchdown), and achieving a passer rating of 132.5. Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed satisfaction with the young players' performance, noting their speed and dedication. Regarding the quarterbacks' play, Stefanski commended them for making sound decisions with the football.
