WATCH: Falcons QB Marcus Mariota throws 75-yard TD pass

The Falcons scored 10 points in the final 40 seconds of the first half to cut the Bengals’ lead to 28-17.

The Falcons are doing what they can to keep themselves in the game against the Bengals. Cincinnati took a 28-7 lead just before the half, but Atlanta went on to score 10 points in less than 40 seconds to make it a 28-17 Bengals lead at halftime.

First, QB Marcus Mariota completed this 75-yard touchdown bomb to WR Damiere Byrd.

The Falcons would get the ball back after a Bengals punt, which kick returner Avery Williams nearly returned for a touchdown. Nonetheless, Williams’ return set up an easy Younghoe Koo field goal to cut the lead to 11 at the half.
