"The Falcons put together a workmanlike performance across the board, with Bijan Robinson being the stellar exception, and it was enough to overcome a very slow start and dismantle the Arizona Cardinals. After falling behind 13-3 in the second quarter, the Falcons rallied to tie things up at halftime, and then outscored the Cardinals 10-3 in a second half where they simply ground Arizona to dust."
"In a very different season, one where the Falcons were on the top of the heap in the NFC South, we'd be glad they escaped from this game. With the season's playoff dreams already over and nothing left to play for except pride, jobs, and keeping the Rams from picking in the top ten, this game registered as an effort low in frustration and relatively high in fun moments from Bijan, CJ Henderson, Kyle Pitts, and Kirk Cousins, among others."
The Falcons combined a workmanlike team performance with a breakout display from Bijan Robinson to defeat the Arizona Cardinals. Atlanta fell behind 13-3 in the second quarter but rallied to tie at halftime and outscored Arizona 10-3 in the second half, dominating on the ground. The defense allowed some explosive passing plays and struggled against the run. The offense committed errors on key third and fourth downs and produced one turnover. Special teams showed minor shakiness. With playoff hopes gone, the victory provided a low-frustration, satisfying finish ahead of two final regular-season games and a consequential offseason.
