Taylor Heinicke got his second career NFL win on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. The way in which he got that second win though, was spectacular.
Two highlight reel touchdowns in the last five minutes, to steal a win at the Mercedes Benz Stadium.
In Atlanta. Where Heinicke was born and grew up.
He had a ton of friends and family there to witness it all.
Well done young man.
Heinicke may just have taken a big step in securing the starting quarterback position, beyond Ryan Fitzpatrick’s return from injury.
He also earned a wallpaper. 🙂

Heinicke’s Day
The 28-year old quarterback finished the day with three touchdowns, and was 23 of 33 for 290 yards. He also had 43 yards rushing on 5 carries.
Statistics don’t capture the magic of the performance though. Playing Houdini in the pocket until he could make something positive happen – that’s what Heinicke did twice on Sunday.
Can he do it again against the Saints?
