Falcons up 14-0 with a pair of touchdowns from unlikely source

With Devonta Freeman out with a concussion, the Falcons are turning to their other primary playmaker.

Patrick DiMarco, of course.

The third-year fullback just caught his second touchdown pass of the day, as the Falcons are out to a 14-0 lead on the Colts.

DiMarco, a former undrafted rookie from South Carolina, had one career touchdown prior to today, but the Colts can’t stop him. Of course, they can’t really rush the passer either, giving Matt Ryan plenty of time to look around.

Putting 40-year-old backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck in that kind of hole isn’t really fair, but that’s the spot he’s found himself in.
