TicketsCINCINNATI – Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder improved his team to 2-0 and Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford shined on Monday Night Football to lead the way for former Bearcats in Week Two of NFL action.
Ridder completed 19 of 32 passes for a career-high 237 yards and a touchdown, in addition to 39 rushing yards and another score on the ground, leading the Falcons to a 25-24 win over the Green Bay Packers. Ford turned in 16 carries for a career-high 106 yards and hauled in three receptions for 25 yards along with a touchdown.
