AND THE STEELERS ARE INDICATING THIS IS AGAINST THE FALCONS. REFEREE: HOLDING, OFFENSE, NUMBER 46, 10-YARD PENALTY, REPEAT FIRST DOWN. END. NO ONE TO HOLD THEM AND NO ONE TO FOLD. ONCE YOU GO OUTSIDE YOU’VE GOT TO FOLD AND TAKE THOSE HANDS OFF. PATTERSON’S SPEED WENT OUT. PATTERSON COULD SEE THAT — FOURTH DOWN? ANDREW: MARIOTA FOR LONDON. HE’S GOT IT AT THE 10-YARD LINE. CANNOT GET AWAY FROM

CAMERON SUTTON. BUT THAT WAS A BIG PLAY THERE FOR THE FALCONS. AND NOW IT’S THIRD AND GOAL AS PITTS. JAMES: THEY PUT DRAKE LONDON ON THE INSIDE WHERE PITTS USED TO BE. ANDREW: MARIOTA TO THE END ZONE. INCOMPLETE. HE WAS LOOKING FOR LONDON AND WANTS A PENALTY. 28-YARD FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT FOR KOO WHO IS ALREADY 2-2 TODAY. AND HIS KICK IS GOOD. SO A 15-PLAY DRIVE RESULTS IN JAMES: HE’S GOING TO GAMBLE ON HIS DEFENSE BECAUSE THERE’S NOBODY DEEP. THIS GUY’S COVERING THAT TIGHT-END THERE BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO BLITZ OFF THAT CORNER THERE. ANDREW: THEY

ARE THROWING IT. PICKETT ON THE SLANT WITH HIS MAN JOHNSON UP AHEAD AND HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN. JAMES: BACK BREAKER. ANDREW: WHAT A PLAY CALL ON SECOND DOWN WHEN THE WHOLE AND MIKE TOMLIN AGREE.
