Atlanta Falcons wide receiver, Drake London, issued a bold warning to other NFL teams, urging them not to underestimate the Falcons.

Speaking to Adam Schein on SiriusXM Radio, London emphasized the team’s relentless spirit and their commitment to their “burn the boats” mentality.

The Falcons are currently riding high with a surprising 2-0 record, to the surprise of many . London’s comments come as a testament to the team’s resilience and determination.

London stated, “This team, don’t ever count us out. We’re going to still fight until we can’t fight no more, and that goes back to our motto — again, I’m gonna keep on saying it — burn the boats.”

London added: “We’re a well-conditioned team, we’re an aggressive team, and we’re gonna go out there and give you our best for the whole time being. And I think that’s kind of where we caught them in the second half.”

With their mindset, the Falcons have emerged as a formidable force in the early stages of the season but facing arguably their toughest test next.

The Falcons upcoming game against the 1-1 Detroit Lions in Week 3 is poised to be another significant test for the resurgent Falcons, where they will aim to further prove their worth.
