"The Falcons sent a message to the NFL on Monday Night Football with not only an unexpected victory against the heavily favored Buffalo Bills, but also a dominating performance where their defense absolutely suffocated reigning MVP Josh Allen and his prolific offense. The vibes this season have never been higher than right now, as the Birds are coming off of back to back wins in what was thought to be their toughest part of the schedule on paper,"
"Next, Atlanta turns its attention to the Bay area and a date with the San Francisco 49ers in another prime time matchup, on Sunday Night Football. San Fran, led by former Falcon assistant Kyle Shanahan, have navigated a myriad of injuries to sit atop the NFC West at 4-2. They will have gone 3-0 through what was thought to be the gauntlet of their schedule, against the Commanders, Bills, and 49ers all back to back."
"Consistency seems to be Atlanta's big problem right now. Take earlier in the season as a perfect example - a dominating Sunday Night Football triumph in Minnesota was followed by a humiliating 30-0 shutout suffered at the hands of the division rival Panthers. A win in San Fran would go a long way in mitigating some of those consistency concerns, at least psychologically."
Atlanta upset Buffalo with a dominant defensive outing that shut down Josh Allen, building momentum after consecutive wins around the bye week. The team now faces the San Francisco 49ers in prime time, with an opportunity to go 3-0 through a stretch that was expected to be the toughest of the schedule. A victory would bolster playoff positioning and team belief while easing concerns about recent inconsistency. Earlier-season swings between dominant wins and blowout losses remain an issue, and a win in San Francisco would provide psychological reassurance and help match last season's 4-2 start.
