Atlanta Falcons used their bye week to find the right answers to Buffalo Bills, which they beat 24-14 on “Monday Night Football.”
Falcons improved to 3-2 on the season, while the bills have now lost two just after the start of the season 4-0.
While there were explosive offensive acting contributing to this Falcons victory, their defense was able to handle Bill’s quarterback Josh Allen just as important at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday night. Allen was fired four times, mostly of any team this season, when Falcons not only got pressure in the back field, but made sure he couldn’t escape great rushing yards.

However, highlight real will certainly have Falcons’ offensive stars running Bijan Robinson and the broad recipient Drake back, leading after their generous contribution to that side of the ball.
Robinson rushed in 170 yards at 19 carrier with an 81-yard touchdown that blew this game widely open in favor of the home layer. The play came just after Allen was fired for a 15-yard loss on the third down and forced a point at the bills. Robinson wasted no time and found a hole on the line with review and jumped out to the right, where security Cole Bishop couldn’t get him out of boundaries and it was off to the races.

But before Robinson’s magic, London showed his strength as he caught a nine-yard pass from Penix near the finish line and reached his long arms over with the ball for six points, all while tackling. It gave back the Falcon’s lead, which they originally had thanks to Tyler Allgeier’s first bear of the game that went after a 21-yard touchdown on the opening drive.
Allen was able to also find Dawson Knox for an opening drive touchdown, but they had to punt four just times before tossing an interception near the end of the first half. It was an uncharacteristic performance for Bills’ offense, but their defense made adjustments in the second half to keep them in the game.

Allen and the bills started the third quarter of the touchdown drive they needed when Ray Davis caught a short pass from his quarterback and took it 16 meters to the scoring. But once again, Bills’ offense stopped as Falcons continued to stop.
With a 21-14 lead in the fourth quarter, Michael Penix was Jr. And his violation looking to put a seal on their victory, and they did it with a drive that took a 5-minute watch and ended up with a Parker Romo field goal to make it a two-holding game.
Allen tried a miracle on the ensuing drive, but he was picked off after a deflected care in the red zone as Falcons celebrated their victory.

In the score box, Penix was 20-of-32 in 250 yards with his touchdown pass to London, led the game with 158 yards on 10 catches. Robinson also added 68 yards to six catches to a total of over 230 scrimmage yards in a brilliant game.
For the bills, Allen was only 15-of-26 with two touchdowns and two interceptions. James Cook was kept relatively silent in this game with 87 yards of 17 bears.
