If you wanted a how-to guide to the Atlanta Falcons hanging with this Buffalo Bills team, you saw it on Atlanta’s first offensive drive. The Falcons go down 69 yards in five plays to draw first blood against the Bills. The drive was capped off with a scintillating 21-yard explosive run from Tyler Allgeier where he made a statement bowling over a defender on the way to the endzone.

Atlanta set the tone both through the air, utilizing play action for a huge Drake London chunk play to get the drive moving, and on the ground. Bijan Robinson and Allgeier combined for 31 yards on three carries, and the offensive line for the Falcons is moving the depleted Buffalo front at will.

If Atlanta wants a chance against this Bills team, they have to continue to find ways to turn these drives into touchdowns.
