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.
