The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, with running back Bijan Robinson playing a pivotal role in the victory. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. contributed 250 passing yards and a touchdown, while Drake London had 10 catches for 158 yards and a touchdown. Robinson led the ground game with 170 rushing yards, including an 81-yard touchdown run, and added 68 receiving yards, marking a significant offensive performance for the Falcons.

This defensive pressure contributed to the struggles of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who finished with 180 passing yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and was sacked four times.
