The Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons clashed at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to kick off the Monday night doubleheader. The game got off to an unexpected start, with the Falcons taking a 21-7 lead fairly early. Just when it looked like we might be in for a shootout, both defenses showed up in the second half, allowing 10 combined points.

The Bills did their best to complete the comeback, but some big late plays from Michael Penix and Bijan Robinson helped seal the deal for the Falcons. The Bills, meanwhile, have now dropped two straight games, and the Falcons will look to build on their massive win after their first consecutive wins of the season.

Here were my takeaways from Monday’s game.
