ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Buffalo Bills, 24-14, on Monday in their Week 6 prime-time game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in front of 72,067 ticketed fans.
STATS TO CHEERS OVER
-- The Falcons are the only team in the NFL that has held every opponent this season to less than 300 total yards of offense.
- It's the first time Atlanta has accomplished the feat in at least five straight games since 1998.
- The Bills were held to a season-low 291 total yards. They were averaging 395.8 yards per game prior to Monday.
- The Falcons forced the Bills into four three-and-outs. That's the most for both teams in their respective situations.
-- The Falcons are now 8-1 in "Monday Night Football" games since 2015. That winning percentage – 88.9% – is the best in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers (13-2, 86.7%) are the second-best team.
-- Atlanta is 14-3 in its throwback uniform with the red helmets since 2009. The Falcons will next sport that exact ensemble in Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. Both games are in prime-time slots, with the latter being another "Monday Night Football" showdown in Atlanta.
-- Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored on a 21-yard rush in the first quarter. It marked the first time in Allgeier's career, which began in 2022, that he had two games in a row with a rushing touchdown. He had a 15-yard touchdown run in the Falcons' Week 4 win against the Washington Commanders.
-- At just 23 years old, running back Bijan Robinson is the youngest Falcons player to reach 4,000 career scrimmage yards. He's at 4,172 since getting drafted in 2023. Read more about his record-setting night.
FACTS TO SIP ON
-- The Falcons' defense limited Bills quarterback and reigning MVP Josh Allen to a season-low 180 passing yards.
- Monday saw the most passing yards the Falcons have allowed this season. However, the Falcons are only one of two teams to not allow a 200-yard passer. The other is the Minnesota Vikings.
- The last time the Falcons strung together five consecutive games without a 200-yard passer was in 2018.
- Allen was intercepted by cornerback Dee Alford and inside linebacker DeAngelo Malone, neither of whom are normally starters. The last time Allen was intercepted more than once in a game was the Bills' Week 10 win against the Indianapolis Colts in 2024.
-- The Falcons' offense had 335 net yards in the first half, which is the most by any team in a half this season and the most by the Falcons in a first half since 2009. That's also more than Atlanta had total in both Weeks 2 and 3. It was just 3 yards short of the Week 1 total.
-- When Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau blocked Falcons kicker Parker Romo's 37-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter, according to Next Gen Stats, the Bills' win probability increased from 14.7% to 27.6%.
-- Robinson broke 4,000 career scrimmage yards at the exact same age Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor did so. They were both 23 years and 256 days old. Taylor reached his milestone on Oct. 2, 2022, against the Tennessee Titans.
-- The Falcons are now 22-15 in post-bye games and continued their every-other-year trend since 2018. They won in 2025, lost in 2024, won in 2023, lost in 2022, etc. The last time there were back-to-back years of post-bye games with the same outcomes was 2018-19 seasons, when they won both.
QUOTING RAHEEM MORRIS
On why wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III was inactive when healthy...
"Coaching decision on Ray-Ray tonight, just like everybody else, anybody that you put down that's not active. Decided to put him down tonight. He'll be back out competing next week. We'll see where we go. We had everybody we needed. We got everybody we wanted tonight, and we got out there and got a big win."
QUOTING THE FALCONS
Wide receiver Drake London
On whether the Falcons are overlooked…
"I think, honestly, that's Falcons football. But we have to change the narrative. We really got to get the city behind us. We got to keep it rocking. Too many blue jerseys in there. We got to change the script."
Offensive lineman Michael Jerrell
On if it felt like filling big shoes when taking injured left tackle Jake Matthews' place…
"A little bit. I was like, 'Dang, big 70's been holding it down for -- what -- 12, 13 years in the league.' I'm pretty sure fans are so used to seeing on the side that when he goes down, it's like, 'All right, all right, who's the next guy? He better do a good job, just like Jake.' So, I mean, there's a little bit of pressure, but God put me in this position. I feel like I can take on anything."
QUOTING THE OPPONENT
Bills head coach Sean McDermott
On the loss overall...
"There's no such thing as moral victories. But I did think that they battled down to the end right there, which I appreciate."
Bills quarterback Josh Allen
On the offensive inconsistencies...
"The other guys are going to get paid, too. They're game planning just as hard as we are. Flat out, they just played better than us tonight."
