ATLANTA -- Matt Ryan had quite the smile on his face and he walked off the field with his arm around Taylor Gabriel just moments after Gabriel vaulted himself into the end zone.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback had plenty reason to enjoy the moment with his diminutive wide receiver. That's because the 5-foot-8-inch, 165-pound (when soaking wet) Gabriel continues to provide big plays.
Gabriel fourth-quarter, run-and-leap, 25-yard touchdown off a screen pass from Ryan punctuated the Falcons' 38-19 win over the Arizona Cardinals, ranked as the NFL's top overall defense leading into the game. The Cardinals had allowed just 19 points per game prior to Sunday's game.
