It doesn’t feel real, but the Atlanta Falcons offense is completely showing out against the Washington Commanders in front of the home crowd. Add another passing touchdown to Michael Penix’s day, making
it two on the day, this one to Kyle Pitts on a rollout, completing an explosive 2-play, 76-yard drive.
While it is a relief to see Pitts back in the end zone again, he probably shouldn’t have even had the chance. On the first play of the drive, Bijan Robinson got free for a 69-yard catch-and-run that probably should have ended in a touchdown if Robinson hadn’t been hawked down by safety Jalen Reaves.
Michael Penix is currently 14-of-19 for 226 yards and two touchdowns. Robinson is up over 100 yards from scrimmage again as he has 12 carries for 54 yards and two receptions for 75 yards. Drake London has hauled in six of his seven targets for 95 yards, and Kyle Pitts hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards with a touchdown apiece.
The question is if Atlanta can keep it up, but it feels really good being able to see the Falcons’ offense look as electric as it has.
