Markeylin Batton was dialed in as he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown. Considering he played a big game the last time he faced off against Tatum back in November of 2023, the result shouldn't come as too huge a shock. That makes it three consecutive games in which Batton has scored at least a quarter of Atlanta's points. This season, Batton has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 42 receiving yards per game.
