Penix, Robinson Power Falcons Over Short-Handed Commanders 34-27

The win marked a swift turnaround one week after Atlanta’s 30-0 loss.

Overview

  • Michael Penix Jr. posted a career-high 313 yards on 20-of-26 passing with two touchdowns and one interception.
  • Bijan Robinson totaled 181 yards from scrimmage, including a 69-yard catch-and-run and a 14-yard rushing score.
  • Parker Romo hit a 26-yard field goal with 1:57 left and Atlanta recovered the ensuing onside kick after a Washington field goal.
  • Washington played without Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin; Marcus Mariota went 16-of-27 for 156 yards with two touchdowns and one pick, and Luke McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel caught scores.
  • Early miscues undercut Washington’s comeback bid, with only six first-half first downs, an 0-for-4 start on third down, four fumbles that they recovered, and a largely stalled ground game.
