Falcons defense just turned doubters into believers against Josh Allen and the Bills

After their first four games, several fans saw the Atlanta Falcons' defensive success as fools gold. Games a Baker Mayfield, Bryce Young, J.J. McCarthy, and Marcus Mariota didn't do much to move the needle, and most expected Josh Allen to have a field day—just like he has all season.

But in a shocking twist of fate, the reigning MVP had perhaps his worst start of the season in Week 6, and the Falcons upset the Bills 24-14. Allen threw two interceptions and completed jus 15 of his 26 pass attempts for 180 passing yards, as he was out-shined by a younger quarterback on primetime for the second straight week.
