Falcons defense dominates Josh Allen in Monday night’s win over the Bills

the Atlanta Falcons They used the bye week to find the right answers for the Buffalo Bills, who they beat 24-14 on “Monday Night Football.”

The Falcons improved to 3-2 this season Invoices They have now lost two games in a row after starting the season 4-0.

While there were explosive offensive plays that contributed to this Falcons win, their defense’s ability to handle Bills quarterback Josh Allen was just as important at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday night. Allen was sacked four times, the most of any team this season, as the Falcons not only took pressure in the backfield, but made sure he couldn’t escape into big rushing yards.

However, the highlight is certainly the Falcons’ star offensive running back Sesame 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 run that opened this game wide open in favor of the home team. The play came immediately after Allen was sacked for a 15-yard loss on third down, forcing the Bills to punt. Robinson wasted no time, found a gap at the line of scrimmage and bounced right where safety Cole Bishop couldn’t get him out of bounds, and he was off to the races.

But before Robinson’s magic, London showed his mettle when he caught a nine-yard pass from Penix near the goal line and reached his long arms with the ball to score six points, all while being tackled. That gave the Falcons the lead again, which they originally had thanks to Tyler Allgeier’s first carry of the game as a 21-yard touchdown run on the opening drive.

Allen was also able to find Dawson Knox for a touchdown on the opening drive, but they had to run four straight times before he had an interception near the end of the first half. It was an uncharacteristic performance for the 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 with the touchdown drive they needed, as Ray Davis caught a short pass from his quarterback and took it 16 yards for the score. But once again, the Bills’ offense stalled as the Falcons continued to make stops.

With a 21-14 lead going into the fourth quarter, Michael Penix Jr. and his offense looked to confirm their win, 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 double possession game.

Allen tried to pull off a miracle on the ensuing drive, but was ejected after a pass was deflected in the red zone as the Falcons celebrated their win.
