After allowing a rather effortless touchdown by the Panthers, the Falcons offense moved the ball right back down the field with big throws from Michael Penix Jr. and a few nice runs by Bijan Robinson.
The second-year running back capped off the drive with a touchdown to tie the game at 17. Watch Robinson score the Falcons’ second touchdown of the day, as shared by the team’s Twitter account below.
