"The Falcons were always going to be a work in progress, but the hope was that the talent and the gelling the team did between 2024 and now would lead to a quality Sunday outcome. Despite some late game intrigue where the Falcons drove deep downfield to make it close-and nearly got it-Younghoe Koo missed a 44 yarder to lose the game for Atlanta. Atlanta must reckon with their play calling, their coverage, and their kicker after absorbing a very tough Week 1 loss."
"Then Michael Penix hit Bijan Robinson on a short route for a first down. Tyler Allgeier took the carry and vaulted over a pile to pick up five yards. On the next play, Penix found Robinson on a short pass, but Bijan took advantage of nice downfield blocks from Kyle Pitts and Casey Washington and his incredible speed and shiftiness to take it 50 yards for the score."
Atlanta opened strong, taking a 7-0 lead after Bijan Robinson's 50-yard touchdown following downfield blocks from Kyle Pitts and Casey Washington. Tampa Bay struggled early but had a promising drive that ended in a punt. Atlanta's offense produced explosive plays but also committed a rare fumble by Robinson and had multiple stalled possessions. Special teams miscues gave Tampa Bay favorable field position at times. Late in the game Atlanta drove deep and nearly took the lead, but Younghoe Koo missed a 44-yard field goal. The Falcons must address play calling, pass coverage, and kicking after suffering a narrow Week 1 loss.
