Falcons rowed into the Viking ship, slammed the oars, and cruised out with a 22-6 win in Minneapolis. From snap one, Bijan Robinson was a whole vibe—chunk plays of 25 and 17 yards set the tone, while Parker Romo kept the scoreboard humming with early boots to make it 6-0 and then 9-6 at the break. Atlanta’s plan was simple: pound the rock, play clean, and let the defense hunt.

Second half, same script—just with a sledgehammer. Atlanta’s front kept squeezing until the dam cracked: an early-fourth strip-sack helped flip the field, and Romo cashed the momentum with a cold-blooded 54-yarder to push it to 15-6. That was the dagger setup; Minnesota never found a rhythm after that boom. (espn.com)

Then came the closer. Tyler Allgeier took the wheel on a 12-play, 83-yard march, ripping chunkers of 13 and 17 before punching in the 5-yard clincher. Meanwhile, Michael Penix Jr. played point guard—steady, mistake-free—finding Drake London and Kyle Pitts on money downs to keep the chains greased. Final lines that sing: Bijan Robinson: 22 carries, 143 yards; Allgeier: 16 for 76 and a TD; Penix: 13/21 for 135; London: 3 for 49; Pitts: 4 for 37.

Quick note from the news desk: the Falcons’ revamped rush showed up with six sacks, and Minnesota took some injury hits up front while Aaron Jones exited with a hamstring. That combo told the tale late. (bleacherreport.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Bijan Robinson. The numbers pop, but the impact was louder—his early gas runs set the thermostat, and his fourth-quarter body blows kept the Falcons in bully ball. That’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports—where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time!
