Austin Hooper Has Another Big Day Sunday
6 years agoAtlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper made it back-to-back impressive weeks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Hooper backed up his impressive Week 5 performance against the Steelers with a nine catch, 71 yard performance against the Buccaneers. Hooper and Matt Ryan only failed to connect on one target as Hooper demonstrated his reliability to this team. Hooper also caught a touchdown, using some impressive footwork to make a defender miss before walking into the end zone. It will be interesting to see how Hooper copes against a team tougher against the tight end, after facing the worst two teams the last two weeks. However, question marks over the health of Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu could mean Hooper remains a big part of the offense in Week 7.
