Falcons make NFL history with incredible 2-game stretch
Atlanta's turnaround is rewriting the record books.
The Atlanta Falcons have etched their names in NFL history with an unparalleled two-game stretch, dominating Week 3 and Week 4 with a staggering 45-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints. This remarkable achievement marks the only team in league history to record such a feat, boasting 80+ points, 800+ total yards, eight or more rushing touchdowns, only one turnover, and no more than one sack allowed.
The victory propelled the Falcons to a 2-2 record, following an abysmal start to the season with two consecutive losses. Since the return of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. from ACL surgery in Week 3, the team has shown an explosive offensive resurgence, with Penix leading the charge and becoming the first Falcons quarterback since Matt Ryan in 2018 to maintain a 70%+ completion rate while averaging at least 10 yards per attempt in back-to-back games.
Running back Bijan Robinson has also played a pivotal role, leading the ground attack with two consecutive games of over 100 rushing yards and two consecutive touchdowns. The Falcons now set their sights on cementing their historic streak as they host the Baltimore Ravens, who enter the matchup with a 3-1 record, on Sunday.
