Falcons' Darnell Mooney fine with missing 1,000-yard receiving mark in 2024: 'I came here to win games'

Our Summary

Darnell Mooney found personal and professional growth with the Atlanta Falcons, even though he narrowly missed the 1,000-yard receiving milestone. After signing a three-year deal with the Falcons, Mooney delivered 992 yards and five touchdowns. Despite a challenging season with the team missing the playoffs due to a 2-6 finish, Mooney remains optimistic about contributing to future victories. His impressive deep-play abilities complement quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s strong arm, and both look to improve their on-field chemistry. Mooney emphasizes that his main goal is winning games, not personal stats. Comfortable in Atlanta, he appreciates the support from the coaching staff and is focused on helping the team break their playoff drought.
