10/23 for 103 and 2 TDS
6 rushes for 59 yards.

Of note, StatCast had his receivers with 8 catchable drops tonight.

The drops were unbelievable. Nobody on the Falcons can catch.

I only saw highlights and I'm thrilled for Ridder and his two TD performance. I want him to have a successful NFL career and I hope he's well on his way.

I do recall comments during some years with the Bearcats about the quality of UC's receivers and frequent "drops". While that was sometimes the case, I think it's often the type of pass that the QB delivers. The very best QB's have a talent for delivering the ball perfectly to their target receivers with amazing consistency.

Ridder's success here was unquestionable. But those of us who watched most every play the past few years also saw uncatchable high or low passes with some regularity. My only point is, the burden of the completion isn't always on the receiver.
