He is only the third receiver to have a 100-yard game against the Falcons this season. Mitchell's final stat line: Eight catches on 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown.
Defense holds late

The Falcons got 234 yards from quarterback Kirk Cousins and 142 more on the ground from Bijan Robinson.
Even so, New York held on when it mattered most. With the game tied at 24 late, the Jets defense forced back-to-back, very quick, three-and-outs against the Falcons offense. That was just enough.
