Drake London's frustration was caught on camera for the world to see.
During Atlanta's 34-3 embarrassment at home against Carolina, London was seen yelling and pointing towards reportedly a fan.
THIS IS WILD: #Falcons star wide receiver Drake London WENT OFF on the sideline.
We have rarely seen London this angry and publicly showing out.
Things need to change in Atlanta quickly, or this season could be heading toward a complete disaster.
The reaction was uncalled for but his anger might be justified. Through two games this season with third-stringer Cooper Rush and fourth-string QB Jack Strand, London has just 6 receptions for 80 yards.
The 1,200 yard receiver in 2024 has shown his ability to make big plays but we've yet to see it this season. But he could be due for a breakout with a familiar face under center.
Drake London due for breakout with Michael Penix Jr. at QB
Drake London's career has been coupled with average quarterback play at best, but one arm he's always found success with is Michael Penix Jr.
According to StatMuse, London has 91 catches for 1,286 yards and 9 touchdowns in 14 games with Penix.
14 games is a few short of a full season and it would be London's best season of his career.
London is a big body and Penix's trust he has in the wideout is why the two have connected.

7/119/0
6/104/1
9/118/3
4/42/0
10/158/1
8/110/1
The duo will play together for the first time since Week 11, 2025 against the Packers on Thursday Night Football#DirtyBirds pic.twitter.com/cOQnZMgXHh
It all starts on primetime at Lambeau Field where Atlanta will look for its first win of the year.
London is itching for touches and the Falcons are itching for a W. History tells us that Penix is the best shot for both.
