A lot can change in one week in the NFL, and the Atlanta Falcons are proof of that. Last weekend, the Falcons were blanked 30-0 at the hands of the Carolina Panthers and Michael Penix Jr. threw two interceptions, while this weekend, the Falcons returned to form in an impressive 34-27 victory over the Washington Commanders.
While the Dirty Birds' offense shined in one of their best performances under Zac Robinson, their NFC South rivals were stifled at the hands of the New England Patriots. The Panthers fell 42-13, and dropped to 1-3 on the season—being handed an embarrassing loss eerily similar to the one they gave Atlanta last weekend.
