The Atlanta Falcons continue to dominate the NFC South, adding another one to the win column after they defeated the Carolina Panthers, 38-20 on the road Sunday.
In addition to the victory itself, the team hit a few notable milestones. The Falcons racked up 423 yards of total offense, passing for 225 yards and rushing for 198 rushing yards. It was Atlanta’s highest rushing total of the season.
Running back Bijan Robinson headed the effort, carrying the ball 15 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns. It’s the first time in Robinson’s NFL career that he’s rushed for touchdowns in a game and also the first multi-touchdown game he’s had since Week 12 of the 2023 season.
Only Tyler Allgeier tallied more yards on the ground, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. It was the third-year running back’s third career game topping the century mark. Allgeier also surpassed 2,000 career rushing yards in Week 6.
Atlanta’s three first-half touchdowns mark the first time the team has totaled at least three touchdowns before halftime this year. In terms of points scored, the Falcons have combined for 74 points over the last two games, the highest total in two games since Week 14 and Week 15 of the 2016 season.
The Falcons will aim to stay on the right side of the win column as they face the Seattle Seahawks in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Oct. 20. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.
