But no matter how the Falcons use Patterson, getting the ball in his hands is paramount for the offense. Russell Gage is no fluke anymore. Gage was the leading receiver today with 64 yards, marking four consecutive weeks where he leads the team in receiving. Gage struggled to start the season, but is beginning to look like his self.
While he might not have the breakout games every week like Patterson or Kyle Pitts can have, he's become a Calvin Ridley-like security blanket for Matt Ryan. Everyone benefits from Hayden Hurst. Hayden Hurst made his return to the field after missing the last three games with an ankle injury.
Although it doesn't always show in the box score, Hurst plays a significant role in the offense. As a threat in the middle, Hurst warrants attention that could be paid to Pitts, Gage or Patterson. Ryan benefits from his other targets opening up, while the skill players have an easier chance to gain yards. Gage caught four passes for 64 yards, Pitts caught five passes for 61 yards, and even Hurst contributed as a red zone target, scoring on a 3-yard touchdown pass.
