The Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills squared off in a crucial "Monday Night Football" matchup on October 14, 2025. The Falcons, coming off an early bye week, looked to capitalize on the extra preparation time and take down the reigning MVP Josh Allen and the Bills.
The game started with a bang, as Falcons running back Bijan Robinson broke free for an 81-yard touchdown run to give his team an early 7-0 lead. The Bills' offense struggled to find its footing, and the Falcons' defense was able to keep them in check for much of the first half.
However, the Bills were not about to go down without a fight. Tight end Dawson Knox scored a touchdown on Buffalo's opening drive to tie the game at 7-7. But the Falcons' offense continued to click, with quarterback Michael Penix finding wide receiver Drake London for a touchdown to regain the lead.
The game took a turn for the worse for the Bills when starting center Connor McGovern exited with an injury, putting the offensive line's depth to the test. The Falcons took advantage, swarming Josh Allen and making it difficult for the Bills' offense to find its rhythm.
In the end, the Falcons' balanced attack and stifling defense proved too much for the Bills, as Atlanta secured a 21-7 victory in a crucial early-season matchup.
