Falcons' bye week just became a pressure cooker thanks to these injuries

The Atlanta Falcons went from disaster in Week 3 to full of promise in Week 4. The Falcons' 34-27 victory over the Washington Commanders highlighted their best offensive performance of the season, while Michael Penix Jr. delivered a showing that provided fans no shortage of optimism after the offense was blanked against the Panthers.

Atlanta finally looked like the team fans were expecting to see before the season—explosive, balanced, and dangerous with the football. Amid calls for his job, Zac Robinson's offense finally clicked, but just as the arrow finally pointed upwards, injuries poured cold water on the team's newfound momentum.
