Taylor Gabriel scorches Eagles defense on 76-yard touchdown (Video)

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel burns the Philadelphia Eagles secondary on this 76-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Matt Ryan.

The Atlanta Falcons were unable to get into the end zone in the first three quarters of their road game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia did a phenomenal job of keeping the best offense in football contained for most of this ball game.

However, it was only a matter of time before the Falcons offense would get on the board against Philadelphia. Here is Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel burning the Eagles secondary on this Matt Ryan 76-yard touchdown pass.

Philadelphia was leaning too heavily on veteran cornerback Leodis McKelvin, who was battling a hamstring injury all day. Ryan saw Gabriel beat him on a go-route and was off to the races in a matter of seconds.

Atlanta has been able to strike at any moment this season, as Ryan has improved his deep ball considerably. He’s never had elite arm strength as a professional, but has not tossed the football deep this well since he starred for the Boston College Eagles in college.

This game is going down to the wire in Philadelphia. Though neither of these teams play annually, the Falcons and Eagles have somewhat of an interesting NFC rivalry. They usually play each other very closely and the game is not decided until late in the fourth quarter.
