Falcons Dominate Vikings 22-6 Behind Robinson, Romo, Defense

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Minnesota Vikings 22-6, powered by a strong running game led by Bijan Robinson, who rushed for 143 yards, and Tyler Allgeier, who added 67 yards and a late touchdown. New Falcons kicker Parker Romo made all five of his field-goal attempts, contributing significantly to the scoring. The Falcons' defense was dominant, sacking Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy six times and forcing three turnovers, while Minnesota's offense struggled to gain traction, crossing midfield only three times. Michael Penix Jr. managed the Falcons' offense efficiently, completing 13 of 21 passes for 135 yards without turnovers. Minnesota was hampered by penalties, six sacks allowed, and four turnovers, preventing them from mounting a serious comeback. The Falcons' balanced attack and stout defense helped them bounce back from a season-opening loss and control the game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
