Bijan Robinson's first NFL run was exactly what the Atlanta Falcons want out of him.
Ridder also scrambled for a first down on third-and-four to keep the drive alive. The Falcons didn't get a touchdown on the drive. The Falcons were put in a hole after having first-and-goal due to holding and false start penalties, but still should have come away with a field goal. In Ridder's defense, the Bengals could have been called for pass interference, but there was no flag. Either way, Ridder can't turn it over that deep into an opponent's territory.
It's easy to be excited for the Falcons' young core. Ridder and London are in their second seasons. Robinson is the favorite to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Pitts is in his third season, and was just the second tight end ever to post a 1,000-yard season as a rookie. Ridder's interception didn't erase all of the highlights those players had on Friday. It was just a reminder that the quarterback still isn't a finished product.
The Falcons are building an exciting young core on offense. The potential was on display in Friday's preseason game.
