Penix, Bijan Robinson Fuel Falcons’ 34-27 Rebound Over Short-Handed Commanders

One week after a shutout, a 435-yard outburst under new sideline roles signaled an offensive reset before the bye.

Overview

  • Michael Penix Jr. delivered a career-best passing day at 20-of-26 for 313 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
  • Bijan Robinson amassed a career-high 181 scrimmage yards, highlighted by a 69-yard catch to set up Kyle Pitts’ TD and a tackle-breaking 14-yard scoring run.
  • Atlanta totaled 435 yards, converted 6 of 12 third downs and held the ball nearly 10 minutes longer, with Tyler Allgeier adding a 15-yard rushing touchdown.
  • Washington played without Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin as Marcus Mariota went 16-of-27 for 156 yards and two scores, while the defense struggled with tackling and pressure.
  • Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney exited with a hamstring injury; Atlanta hits a Week 5 bye before hosting Buffalo, and Washington expects Daniels back next week at the Chargers.
