Falcons lean on Roddy White early

Nov 22, 2015

The Falcons were determined to get wide receiver Roddy White involved in the offense.

After a Paul Worrilow interception, the Falcons threw three straight passes to White.

The first one was broken up by Colts cornerback Vontae Davis. White, who only had 30 targets over the first nine games, caught the second pass for a five yard game.

The pass on third down was incomplete as Colts cornerback Greg Toler was in coverage.

White, 34, is the Falcons all-time leading receiver.
