Falcons Beat Commanders 34-27

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Washington Commanders 34-27 in Week 4 at Mercedes‑Benz Stadium. Rookie Bijan Robinson had 106 receiving yards, 75 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Michael Penix Jr. completed 20 of 26 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns; Drake London added eight catches for 110 yards. Washington was hobbled by injuries — Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and John Bates were out — and Marcus Mariota started, going 16-of-27 for 156 yards, two TDs and an interception. Washington’s defense managed just one sack (Frankie Luvu) and struggled to contain Atlanta’s run game; a Mike Sainristil interception briefly set the Commanders up but coverage breakdowns and offensive inconsistency cost them. The win was a bounce-back for Atlanta after a Week 3 blowout loss and leaves Washington facing short-term depth and injury concerns.
