They played well in the first half, holding the Falcons to just six points, but they ultimately allowed Kirk Cousins to throw a game-tying touchdown to Drake London with 38 seconds left in regulation.

Britain Covey caught all six of his targets for 23 yards in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.
Fantasy Impact: Covey was one of the main beneficiaries of the A.J. Brown hamstring injury as he finished second on the team in targets and catches, although he turned those opportunities into just 3.8 yards per catch. With reports that Brown's hamstring could hold him out another week or so, Covey should return to a similar role as the short-area safety valve heading into Week 3 against the Saints.

Jalen Hurts found Smith for his only touchdown pass on a seven-yard completion in the second quarter.

Hurts has now thrown for 461 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first two games of the season. He will be a high-end QB1 heading into Week 3 against the Saints.
