Drake London’s girlfriend joined the Falcons’ victory parade after the receiver’s game-winning touchdown in Atlanta’s comeback win against the Eagles on Monday night.
Sofia Gabay, who’s a model and has a degree in cinema from USC, said the receiver silenced the home crowd when London scored the game-tying touchdown with only 34 seconds remaining before Younghoe Koo’s game-winning extra point at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
“You hear how silent he made the Eagles stadium?????” Gabay wrote over a video of the moment Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins connected with London on a 7-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone.
The 23-year-old influencer can be heard screaming in the background of the video.
She sported an Atlanta Falcons white t-shirt which she made with bedazzled letters before the game, as seen in a video on her Instagram page.
London and Gabay have been dating since at least October 2023, according to her Instagram.
It was Atlanta’s first win of the 2024 season after a 18-10 loss to the Steelers in Week 1.
London’s touchdown celebration — him pretending to fire a gun into the air while standing next to an official — almost cost the Falcons the game as he was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, resulting in the game-winning extra point taken from 48 yards out.
Cousins, who’s coming off a torn Achilles, led the Falcons on a six-play, 70-yard game-winning drive with no timeouts left to steal a Week 2 victory on the road — despite the Eagles being favored to win.
Cousins was 20 of 29 for 241 yards and two touchdowns.
“It’s so important to find ways to win,” Cousins said after the game. “And that’s how you put together a great season is when you have these games that can go either way, you find a way to have it break your way. That’s the way this league is.
“So, when we can find those inches, it can really change the tale of the season. We’re gonna have more of those up ahead, and we’re gonna have to keep, as a whole team, finding ways to make the plays to get it done.”
The Falcons (1-1) face the Chiefs (2-0) in Atlanta on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 3.
