After rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, Patterson became the first player to rush for
more than 120 yards and touchdown multipletimes through his team’s first three games of
a season since Christian McCaffrey in 2017.

Drake London finished with three catches for 54 yards (18.0 avg.) and a touchdown  marking his second-straight game with a touchdown and his third-consecutive game with at least 50 receiving yards.

“It was really awesome, to watch those guys fight through that game and our players and staff hats off to them. It’s a resilient group and we were out here all week and we were able to get that win. It was a really great effor by our players and staff and really our whole football staff. I want to thank them.” said Head Coach Arthur Smith.

I think the expectation for us, especially these first couple weeks, you know were to win games. So it feels good. Not necessarily like a relief. I think our expectations as a team is to be playing in games like this, to continue to win an d put some of these things together.” said Mariota
