Big Dill Sports coming in hot from the Caesars Superdome, where the Falcons walked into the dome and walked out with a 24–10 dub over the rival Saints. Atlanta set the tone early with Zane Gonzalez drilling a booming 56-yarder, then turned a Bijan Robinson burst and a sharp red-zone toss into a 9-yard TD to David Sills V. New Orleans punched back with a 49-yard defensive house call, but the Birds still took a 16–7 grip to the locker room and never really let it go. (nfl.com)
The Saints had their chance to flip the script out of halftime — a clock-chewing march that parked on Atlanta’s doorstep — but the Falcons’ front slammed it shut on fourth-and-1. Early in the fourth, more Saints déjà vu: goal-to-go, an intentional grounding, and they had to settle for a 33-yard Blake Grupe kick to make it 16–10. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s defense kept the pocket spicy with sacks from James Pearce Jr. and friends, plus a late ice-cold theft by Xavier Watts to seal it.
Then came the knockout sequence — the one they’ll circle in film. After an intentional grounding put Atlanta in a hole, Kirk Cousins coolly dumped it to Bijan Robinson for a chain-busting 32-yard catch-and-run. One snap later, Cousins dropped a dime to Darnell Mooney for a gorgeous 49-yard TD, and Bijan hammered home the two-pointer. Ballgame. Cousins finished steady-as-she-goes (16/23, 199 yards, 2 TD), Mooney was money (3/3, 74 yards, 1 TD), and Bijan stacked chunk plays (14 rushes, 70 yards; 2 catches, 37 yards; 2-point run) like a pro.
Big Dill of the Game: Bijan Robinson. In a rivalry that thrives on momentum, his 32-yard rescue on 2nd-and-forever plus the two-point bow were the swing and the sting. That’s how you close. This is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith for Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next kickoff! (nfl.com)
