Outrageous Falcons stat will make you look at this team differently

The Atlanta Falcons turned a 0–2 start into two primetime road wins, including a Monday-night upset in the New Orleans Saints’ Superdome. In the last two away games versus the Green Bay Packers and Saints, Atlanta has scored 80-plus points—a feat the article says it hadn’t achieved since December 2016. It links that 2016 team to an offense featuring Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and head coach Kyle Shanahan. This year’s quarterback Michael Penix Jr. isn’t replicating Ryan’s passing firepower, but the run game has surged. Bijan Robinson and free-agent Brian Robinson Jr. combined for 207 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns, described as the NFL’s most dangerous rushing attack. Next, Atlanta hosts the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
