Buffalo Bills, Atlanta Falcons and Monday Night Football
Digest more
Buffalo officially elevated veteran defensive lineman Jordan Phillips and safety Jordan Poyer from the practice squad for Monday's matchup with Atlanta. Phillips is on his third stint with the Bills, while Poyer, a former All-Pro, is on his second.
Just a month prior, Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris proclaimed his running back to be the NFL's best player. As Bijan Robinson sped past Buffalo Bills defenders on Monday night, it was hard not to nod in agreement with Morris’ proclamation.
Washington drops to 2-2 with a 34-27 loss to the Falcons in Atlanta. Marcus Mariota was 16 for 27 for 156 yards and two touchdowns, but the Commanders’ defense had no answer for Atlanta. Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was 20 for 26 for 313 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Bijan Robinson had 181 total yards and a rushing touchdown.
Atlanta's second-round pick has shined in his first professional season, helping the Falcons' defense become one of the elite units in the NFL.
The No. 6-ranked UTPB Falcons fell to the No. 13 Central Washington Wildcats 27-14, at Ratliff Stadium to take its first loss of the season. The ground game was the difference maker as the Falcons only had 50 yards compared to the Wildcats’ 238.
