"The rookie has a sack in four straight games and is starting to create his own opportunities and not just clean up others'. Pearce is beginning to consistently display his pass rush ability and is becoming a familiar face in the backfield. If he maintains this level of play over the final five games, he should be in the Defensive Rookie of the Year talks."
"Bijan had his fourth game of over 150 scrimmage yards, the most of any player this season. The running back also averaged over 6.2 yards per carry for the third time this year. Robinson has been the do-it-all superstar the team has hoped for, and his numbers would be even more gaudy this season if it weren't for his offensive coordinator and depleted offensive line. Performances like these should be rewarded with a win, but this one was unfortunately spoiled."
The Atlanta Falcons repeatedly lose games despite standout individual performances. James Pearce Jr. justified the draft trade-up with a sack in four straight games and growing pass-rush production, placing him in Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation if sustained. Kyle Pitts had a season-high 82 yards and remains a top-10 tight end in yards and receptions, though his long-term fit with the team appears uncertain. Bijan Robinson posted his fourth 150-plus scrimmage yard game and multiple high yards-per-carry outings, but offensive coaching and a depleted line suppressed potential team gains. Special teams produced one of its worst performances, forcing conservative decisions.
