Falcons tight end Jacob Tamme is off to a hot start against the Redskins.

He caught seven passes for 79 yards in the first half. He had a key drop on a third down in the second quarter, which led to Matt Bryant making a 42-yard field goal as the Falcons trail, 7-3.

After suffering a concussion against Dallas, Tamme missed last week’s game against the Texans while in the league’s concussion protocol program.

He entered the game with eight catches for 108 yards on the season.
