The Atlanta Falcons started fast and finished strong in their 28-14 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Quarterback Marcus Mariota was nearly perfect and the defense didn’t allow any fourth-quarter drama.
For once, Falcons fans had very little to complain about after the game. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from Atlanta’s Week 6 victory.
These Falcons Cookin !

Troy Andersen is the Falcons’ future at MLB.

The Falcons threw the ball 14 times, ran it 40 times, and won by 14. Tell me again why my HC ain't the man!

Marcus Mariota threw 14 passes all game. But he was instrumental to this win. Don't see the Falcons replacing him this coming week. First time the Falcons under Arthur Smith will win by more than 1 score. When everything is hitting, this team is so fun to watch.

It’s just a different feel to see some level of consistency from a Falcons team since the early Mike Smith days. Coach Quinn’s teams were MADDENINGLY inconsistent week in and week out. That’s what irked me about them.

This Falcons team is more than just interesting/competitive. They're fun to watch. And, defensively, they're pretty darn good.

Falcons have beat the 49ers 3 of the last 4 meetings. 2 at home

This is no fluke. The Falcons have an identity. Offense will be relentless pounding the rock and defense will make you earn it. Arthur Smith & his staff are establishing a new culture. Rise Up. #dirtybirds

Easily the most complete performance from the Falcons in the last two seasons. This team should be in first place and they have a real shot at winning this division

Falcons are the first team to score 20+ against the Niners defense this season 🖤❤️

#Falcons pull off the upset with a dominant 28-14 win over the #49ers.
Potentially costly win, however, as Atlanta lost three CBs during the game (Terrell, Hayward, Oliver).

The Falcons offense came into the game averaging 23.6 points per game, and the 49ers' backups on defense held them to 21.
The Falcons defense came into the game allowing 24.4 points per game coming into this, and the 49ers offense scored just 14. Yikes.
