The Atlanta Falcons went through much of last week not knowing who would be the starting quarterback in Week 2's home opener against the Panthers. And it showed as both Cooper Rush and undrafted rookie Jack Strand struggled in the blowout loss.
It got so bad that even Drake London was spotted shouting at a fan.
With the Falcons already trailing Carolina by 24 points, the Fox broadcast showed the Falcons receiver being restrained as he yelled at someone in the crowd. London had just four receptions on five targets in the game, but it appeared that the fan said something inflammatory to grab his attention.

London was asked about the altercation after the game, and he told reporters that he didn't
appreciate the fan getting personal in the heckling. Via ESPN:
"I'm going to be honest here, I don't take light to disrespect at all. I don't care who you are. I'm a man, too, at the end of the day. So, if you want to get on a personal level, I can get there, too, but it's not the right thing to do. So, I got to take accountability for that, and I got to push forward and be the bigger man in some of those situations."
On Instagram, London identified the fan as the guy in sunglasses who tried to hide when London shouted back.

It's unclear if the fan was ejected, but there has been plenty to be frustrated about through two weeks in Atlanta.
