Falcons’ 20 highest-graded players in Week 9 loss to Panthers

The Atlanta Falcons capitalized on a couple of late field goals during their Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers, but that luck ran out when the Los Angeles Chargers came to town in Week 9.

Los Angeles hit a last-second field goal to seal a 20-17 victory over Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. However, this was far from a devastating loss since the Falcons are still tied for the best record in the NFC South and have one of the NFL’s most dominant rushing attacks.

Running back Cordarrelle Patterson returned to the team in Week 9 and rushed for two touchdowns, but rookie Tyler Allgeier was perhaps even more impressive, rushing for 99 yards on just 10 carries. Allgeier earned the team’s second-highest Pro Football Focus grade (90.8) on Sunday.

Right tackle Kaleb McGary led the Falcons with an overall grade of 91.6. Check out the team’s 20 highest-rated players from Week 9 below.
