Kyle Pitts had the crucial block on Bijan Robinson's first touchdown run last night. He had to seal out Lukas Van Ness to create the lane and did his job well. Pitts has come a long way as a blocker in the NFL.

Going back through last night's game, and I think it bears repeating how clean the Falcons' new uniform combo looked under the lights. The black pants are nice.

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski says he thought Gervon Dexter Sr. was "outstanding" against the Packers last night.

Probably going to share this story a good bit throughout the year. But, hey, what can I say 🤷🏼‍♂️ Bijan keeps doing Bijan things atlfal.co.nz/4wUXz50

The Falcons had a good night in Green Bay 💪 Check out the notes, quotes and other storylines you may have missed after the game in this morning's Early Bird Report! atlfal.co.nz/4joKixH

Falcons fans might like this Next Gen Stat. Michael Penix Jr. was under center on 35 snaps against Green Bay, surpassing his career high of eight such snaps in a game. He completed all 13 of his quick passes (under 2.5 seconds) and 17 of 20 passes when not pressured for 254 passing yards and a touchdown.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson is averaging 145 yards from scrimmage in 11 prime-time games. That's the highest per-game average of any NFL player with at least five prime-time appearances since 1980, per TruMedia. He had 213 scrimmage yards and 2 TDs on Thursday night.

Kevin Stefanski: "I'm very proud of the effort on a short week. A lot of the results that you see on a night like this happen on a Monday, and they happen on Tuesday. I know what this football team is made of; I know how they approach their job. We'll just keep our head down and focus on what's in front of us."

Kevin Stefanski says, "Every week in the NFL is hard; it's just hard. The next week is going to be hard, and the next week after that. We don't ride the emotional roller coaster in our building. We just stay focused on what's in front of us."

Stefanski: "I thought the rush attack overall was outstanding."

Stefanski compliments the pass protection for giving Michael Penix Jr. a clean pocket. He says he felt Penix battled throughout the night and Tommy Rees did a good job spreading the ball around. Says of Penix: "I'm proud of him. It's not easy to rehab from injury."

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski says "proud of the overall effort. It counts as one, and we'll get back to it next week."

The Falcons are unreal on Thursday nights... 2024: Kirk Cousins set the franchise record for single-game passing yards with 509 (& 4 TDs) 2025: Kyle Pitts set multiple TE records with three TDs and 166 yards. 2026: Bijan & Drake combine for nearly 400 yards and set an all-time NFL record for duo production & the defense allows 17 rushing yards.

This is the fewest amount of rushing yards the Falcons have ever allowed in a single game in franchise history. Atlanta wanted to get better against the run this offseason, and the've been lights out so far. Entered this game No. 1 against the run, and then did this...

The Falcons held the Green Bay Packers to 17 rushing yards on Thursday night. In the whole game.

That interception by Xavier Watts is the perfect end cap for that excellent Falcons performance. A great team win, and they will carry a lot of momentum into New Orleans for Monday Night Football in Week 4. Game Breakdown! atlfal.co.nz/4yYpx0t

Bijan Robinson has 194 rushing yards. Drake London has 194 receiving yards.
