- Bijan Robinson put together a special performance: Stacked boxes were no problem for the star running back, who helped the Falcons post a nearly 40% success rate on early downs. Now Atlanta could derail its Buccaneers division title hopes.
- Puka Nacua was kept largely quiet: Despite recording a game-high 118 air yards, Nacua finished with just 47 yards on five catches (albeit with a touchdown).

In a game that could ultimately have more meaning for the Carolina Panthers than for the two teams involved, the Atlanta Falcons upset the Los Angeles Rams with a 27-24 win on Monday Night Football.
Summary of the game
Indeed, according to the PFF noise-reduced score, the Falcons were the slightly better team in a game that featured multiple defensive and special teams scores.
Submit summary
The Falcons’ passing game didn’t do anything special, but the unit didn’t make any crucial mistakes, while the Rams threw three interceptions.
Summary received
With the defense and run game dominating, the Falcons didn’t have to do much in the passing game. So no one stands out here. Not surprisingly, running back Bijan Robinson saw the most targets among Falcons players.
As is often the case, Puka Nacua was the Rams’ most-used receiver. But it’s worth mentioning Xavier Smith here, as he was targeted six times for 108 potential air yards and finished with a game-high 67 receiving yards.
Hasty summary
Bijan Robinson had a special evening against stacked boxes. His high efficiency numbers may have been skewed by one long run, but his success rate was good too.
