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

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.
