Reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills suffered a surprise defeat for the second consecutive week, falling 24-14 in Atlanta on Monday.<\/p>\n
Michael Penix threw for 250 yards and a touchdown while Bijan Robinson ran 19 times for 170 yards and a touchdown to spark the Falcons attack.<\/p>\n

Robinson, who also caught six passes for 68 yards, said: “This was a big game for us.<\/p>\n
“We had to come out and be physical. We do what we do and come out with a win.”<\/p>\n
Allen threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns but also two costly interceptions as the Bills slid to 4-2 and level for the AFC East division lead with New England, which upset Buffalo 23-20 last week.<\/p>\n
The Falcons improved to 3-2 and moved into second in the NFC South.<\/p>\n
Atlanta’s Tyler Allgeier scored on a two-yard run only 2:45 into the game but Buffalo equalized just 4:14 later on Allen’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Dawson Knox.<\/p>\n

Drake London caught a six-yard touchdown pass from Penix late in the first quarter to put the Falcons back in front and they stretched the lead to 21-7 on Robinson’s 81-yard TD run early in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
Allen fired a 16-yard touchdown pass to Ray Davis on the opening drive of the third quarter to pull Buffalo within 21-14, but Atlanta’s Parker Romo kicked a clinching 33-yard field goal with 1:43 remaining. An interception foiled Buffalo’s last hope.<\/p>\n

The Bears stretched their win streak to three games and kept the Commanders from tying Philadelphia for the NFC East lead.<\/p>\n
“That’s who we are. We fight,” said Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. “We’re 3-2 because of our fight, because of how we face adversity and come together.”<\/p>\n
Moody’s four field goals were the most for any kicker in his Bears debut.<\/p>\n
“It feels amazing,” Moody said. “To get all that support from all my teammates after the game, it was an amazing feeling.”<\/p>\n
Chicago seized a 13-0 lead on Moody field goals of 47 and 48 yards and a one-yard touchdown run by Williams.<\/p>\n

Jayden Daniels lifted Washington within 13-7 at halftime on a 22-yard touchdown pass to Chris Moore in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
Matt Gay’s 53-yard field goal late in the third quarter pulled the Commanders within 13-10 but Moody answered from 41 yards.<\/p>\n
Washington seized\u00a0a 17-16 lead after Daniels connected with Luke McCaffrey on a 33-yard touchdown pass with 2:56 remaining in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
Daniels made it 24-16 on a six-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 11:27 to play.<\/p>\n
The Bears scored just 61 seconds later on a 55-yard Williams touchdown pass to D’Andre Swift but a two-point pass conversion failed and Washington still led 24-22, setting the stage for Moody’s winning kick.<\/p>\n
