Falcons HC Arthur Smith on Cordarrelle Patterson: ‘He’s a warrior’

The team’s do-it-all weapon quickly reminded why he’s the NFL’s most valuable free-agent signing with 108 rushing yards and two TDs.

It’s amazing the difference a week can make. Following two straight losses in which the offense scored just three points, the Atlanta Falcons got back on track with a 21-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Running back Cordarrelle Patterson returned and played his best game of the season — which is saying a lot. The team’s do-it-all weapon quickly reminded why he’s the NFL’s most valuable free-agent signing with 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

After the game, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith had nothing but praise for Patterson, while also complimenting linebacker Mykal Walker.
