The Atlanta Falcons made a bet on a committee of cornerbacks to come in and fight for the CB2 spot on the opposite of A.J. Terrell. Needless to say, all of them have come to play. In the absence of Mike Hughes, Clark Phillips III and Kevin King are up first to make their mark on the field and King is the first with a big play under his belt. Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson was looking for heralded rookie Malik Washington, but King's eyes were all over it as he jumped the route and put the Falcons in prime position to score.

King has been tested a couple of times early in this matchup and he has shown up admirably in his opportunities. Coming into this game, the CB2 battle was a two-horse race.

King is making it difficult to not start to include him in the conversation.
