The Atlanta Falcons took advantage of their bye week to find the right answers for the Buffalo Bills, whom they beat 24-14 on “Monday Night Football.”
The Falcons improved to 3-2 on the season, while the Bills have now lost two in a row after starting the season 4-0.
While there were explosive offensive plays that contributed to this Falcons victory, the fact that their defense could handle Bills quarterback Josh Allen was equally important at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday night. Allen was sacked four times, the most by any team this season, as the Falcons not only put pressure on the backfield, but made sure he couldn’t escape for big rushing yards.

However, the highlight will surely have the Falcons’ offensive stars, running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London, leading the way after their generous contributions on that side of the ball.
Robinson rushed for 170 yards on 19 carries with an 81-yard touchdown that opened this game in favor of the home team. The play came just after Allen was sacked for a 15-yard loss on third down, forcing the Bills to punt. Robinson wasted no time, finding a gap at the line of scrimmage and jumping to the right where safety Cole Bishop couldn’t get him out of bounds, and things started to click.

But before Robinson’s magic, London showed his strength when he caught a nine-yard pass from Penix near the goal line and extended his long arms with the ball for six points, all while being tackled. That gave the Falcons the lead, which they originally had thanks to Tyler Allgeier’s first carry of the game for a 21-yard touchdown on the first drive.
Allen was also able to find Dawson Knox for an opening touchdown, but they had to punt four straight times before he threw an interception near the end of the first half. It was an unusual performance for the Bills offense, but their defense made adjustments in the second half to keep them in the game.

Allen and the Bills began the third quarter with the touchdown drive they needed, when Ray Davis caught a short pass from his quarterback and took it 16 yards for a score. But once again, the Bills offense stalled as the Falcons continued to make stops.
With a 21-14 lead in the fourth quarter, Michael Penix Jr. and his offense looked to seal their victory, and they did so with a drive that took 5 minutes off the clock and ended with a Parker Romo field goal to make it a two-possession game.
Allen attempted a miracle on the next drive, but was intercepted after a deflected pass in the red zone as the Falcons celebrated their victory.

On the scoreboard, Penix went 20 of 32 for 250 yards with his touchdown pass to London, who led the game with 158 yards on 10 receptions. Robinson also added 68 yards on six receptions to total more than 230 yards from scrimmage in a brilliant game.
For the Bills, Allen was just 15-of-26 with two touchdowns and two interceptions. James Cook was relatively quiet in this game with 87 yards on 17 carries.
