Younghoe Koo’s 21-yard field goal lifted the Falcons to victory and helped to improve their record to 6-10. The Cardinals dropped to 4-12.
The Cardinals were playing with backup quarterback David Blough. Falcons rookie Desmond Ridder led the team on the game-winning touchdown drive after the Cardinals took the lead with 4:57 to play.
