Drake London and the Atlanta Falcons dropped their first regular-season game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was a hard-fought battle between both teams as they finished with a 23-20 final score.
Ahead of the game, London’s girlfriend, Sofia Rose Gabay, posted a series of stories with images and videos of her outing at the game. Sofia also showed her outfit, which included a short denim skirt and a brown crop top. The skirt was custom-made since it had London printed on it. She also held a black purse and posted a selfie of the beautiful attire.

“It’s game day,”Drake London’s girlfriend wrote.
Sofia was undoubtedly excited to watch her boyfriend play, but sadly, he suffered a right shoulder sprain. Despite their decent preseason performance, they lost and seemed to be showing signs of struggle.

The bad news is that the Falcons are already struggling with injured wide receivers. Darnell Mooney was forced to be out of the season opener due to a shoulder injury. London’s injury will only make things worse for the team.
Hopefully, Mooney will make his regular-season debut next week as the team faces off against the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons will turn to Casey Washington in case Mooney or Drake London stays out for Week 2. Ray-Ray McCloud will be the other backup if either Mooney or London stays out.

London’s absence cost the team against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. QB Michael Penix Jr. had a lot of pressure to push his team forward. Despite the hard work from Penix, the Falcons were unable to push through as they fell short.
