Falcons wide receiver Drake London was penalized after catching a touchdown pass in the final minute of Atlanta’s 22-21 victory in Philadelphia on Monday night for pretending to shoot in the air, a violation of a longstanding NFL rule that prohibits violent gestures.

Coach Raheem Morris called wide receiver Drake London pretending to fire a gun, just over a week after the team honored victims of the shooting at Apalachee High School, “a mistake.”

London immediately apologized on the sideline during Monday's game, according to Falcons coach Raheem Morris, and did it publicly days later.
