Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder appeared to have an icy exchange with one of his teammates during Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ridder had a rough game in London, finishing 19/31 for just 191 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. There were a couple of plays in Atlanta’s 23-7 loss where Ridder missed a wide-open Mack Hollins, and Hollins was not pleased with his quarterback.

Following a punt late in the first half, Ridder went over to Hollins on the sideline and tried to high-five him. Rather than sticking his hand out, Hollins appeared to snap at his teammate.

Hollins was open for what would have been a first down on the play where Ridder threw a pick-six into traffic. Ridder underthrew Hollins later in the game on a play that could have resulted in a touchdown. That might be why Hollins seems frustrated with the second-year quarterback.
