Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London hit another milestone on Thursday night in the Falcons’ 36-30 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The former USC wide receiver recorded his third career game against the Buccaneers with 100 or more receiving yards. It’s the fourth overall game of London’s career since he was selected by the Falcons with the No. 8 overall pick in which he’s reached the same mark.
London finished out the game with 12 receptions for 154 yards with one touchdown, averaging 12.8 yards per catch. There was some doubt he’d reach anywhere near that number when he had to exit the game with a potential head injury early after tallying just 38 yards.
With that 15-yard first-down pick up, Drake London goes over 100 receiving yards on the day.
It's his third career 100-yard game vs. TB (fourth overall).

This is London’s best game of the season by a large margin. Last week, he finished out the 26-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints with six catches for 64 yards in one of his only two games this season without a touchdown reception.
His highest receiving yardage game this season since he totaled 67 receiving yards against the Kansas City Chiefs, when the Falcons fell, 22-17 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
For the season, he now has posted 32 catches on 44 targets with 354 receiving yards and two touchdowns. London will look to keep things rolling in this direction as the Falcons take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 6.
