Week 7 made it abundantly clear that it is impossible to truly evaluate the Atlanta Falcons. They were blanked by the Panthers in Week 3, dominated the Commanders, and stunned the Bills on primetime over the last month, and now the offense fell flat in a 20-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
It was the run game where the Dirty Birds faltered, as Bijan failed to recapture his Week 6 magic in Week 7, while Christian McCaffrey ran wild for the 49ers. While Robinson was held to just 40 rushing yards on 14 attempts, McCaffrey amassed a season-high 129 rushing yards against Atlanta's top-ranked defense.
