Key takeaway: Although it wasn’t a perfectly clean game — the Falcons did have three fumbles and lost one — Atlanta made up for any of its mistakes, and fast.
Standout performance: Running back Bijan Robinson, who finished with a career-best 26 touches for 145 yards. On the Falcons’ first scoring drive, Robinson had four carries for 29 yards, an average of 7.25 yards per carry. The drive itself was seven plays for 78 yards, so Robinson was responsible for 57% of the touches and 37% of the distance. That’s just one example of how he was able to slice and dice the Cowboys’ defense, too. What the numbers don’t show, though, was Robinson’s ability to power through his runs. He sustained a lot of hits from Cowboys defenders but managed to stay upright and often pushed through multiple players. His vision and contact balance were on full display Sunday.
Number to know: 3. The number of sacks the Falcons totaled against the Cowboys, which marked a new season high for a single game. Falcons inside linebacker Arnold Ebiketie and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett sacked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on back-to-back plays in the first quarter. Falcons inside linebacker Kaden Elliss later took Prescott down in the third quarter. Entering Sunday’s game, Atlanta had the fewest sacks in the NFL with six. The pass rush was questioned throughout the week, and everyone voiced that it was an area that needed to improve. That happened on Sunday.
