Drake London got the Falcons on the scoreboard Sunday with a sweet 9-yard touchdown grab that capped a 78-yard drive in the first quarter.
But the electric receiver would not make any more big plays against the Dallas Cowboys. London suffered a hip injury and was later ruled out after being initially listed as questionable to return to the Falcons' eventual 27-21 win.
London appeared to suffer the setback on the touchdown catch in the short corner of the left end zone, as he twisted as fell hard to the turf in snagging the pass from Kirk Cousins. He also grabbed an 18-yard reception on a crossing route earlier in the drive, when he leaped to grab a high pass over the middle.
London rode a stationary bike on the sideline as he tried to test the injury in a possible attempt to return, but his day was officially cut short.
London entered the game leading the team in receptions (48), receiving yards (525) and TD catches (5). With his top target out, Cousins was held to 222 yards, his lowest total since his Week 1 outing against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
