It’s been a tough year for former Alabama stand-out wide receiver Calvin Ridley. After having more than 1,300 yards receiving and 9 touchdowns in 2020, Ridley along with this Atlanta Falcons team has gotten off to a slow start.
The Falcons have only won 2 games coming into Sunday’s contest against the Miami Dolphins and Ridley has only 255 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.
But it looks like, at least on Sunday, that Ridley may be back on track. As you will see in the clip below, Ridley has caught his second touchdown pass of the season against the Dolphins, a 5-yard pass. At halftime, Ridley has 2 catches for 9 yards.

Ridley sat out last week’s game according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport for mental health issues and needed a break and the Falcons allowed him to do it.
