Atlanta Falcons star Drake London didn’t want to hear anything from anyone as they were getting blown out by the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
The FOX broadcast caught London yelling back at a fan who was apparently shouting at him in the third quarter as the Falcons trailed 34-3. The wide receiver had some team personnel around him as he pointed at the fan and yelled back at him.

It appeared London was shouting expletives.
London addressed the outburst in the postgame press conference as Atlanta dropped the game 34-3.
“I’m going to be honest here, I don’t take light to disrespect at all,” he said, via ESPN. “I don’t care who you are. I’m a man, too, at the end of the day. So, if you want to get on a personal level, I can get there, too, but it’s not the right thing to do. So, I got to take accountability for that, and I got to push forward and be the bigger man in some of those situations.”

It was a brutal game all around for the Falcons.
Atlanta’s terrible quarterback situation appeared worse than advertised. Cooper Rush was 10-of-17 for 86 yards and threw two interceptions before he was benched. Jack Strand came into the game, completed eight passes and threw an interception of his own.
As for London, he had four catches for 51 yards on five targets.
It’s not exactly his fault for the tough game. Atlanta’s presumed starter, Michael Penix Jr., is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last season. Tua Tagovailoa, who was initially announced as the Week 1 starter, is also hurt.
The Falcons are clearly frustrated as they fall to 0-2 to start the season with only 16 points to show for.
