It's a beautiful thing to see a #Falcons offense where Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts are all being utilized to their full potential. With their unique skill sets, the offense has become more dynamic and balanced. The way it should be. pic.x.com/AmHT0MPvId

RT: Kirk finds Drake London in the end zone! ?: #ATLvsCAR on FOX ?: atnfl.co/watch pic.x.com/q5wK4x7Sbq
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense had been struggling all season to find consistency. They had been dealing with injuries all season long, and the hope was that the defense everyone saw shut down Jayden Daniels in Week One would return.
As it turns it, it may have in Week 6.
The injuries to Calijah Kancey and Antoine Winfield Jr. sometimes caused the Bucs’ defense to play lost. This was capsulated by Kirk Cousins’s 500-yard passing performance against them last week. In Week 6, Winfield Jr. and Kancey returned, and the former Minnesota Golden Gopher wasted no time making an impact
The Atlanta Falcons suffered their first injury against the Carolina Panthers in the first half of Sunday’s NFC South matchup. Safety Micah Abernathy appeared to injure his knee just three minutes into the first quarter.
According to team reporter Tori McElhaney, Abernathy has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s contest. Atlanta will likely look to defensive backs Richie Grant and Kevin King to help fill in for Abernathy.
Micah Abernathy has a knee injury and has been ruled OUT
The Atlanta Falcons finally took the lead in their Week 6 matchup against the Panthers thanks to a crucial Kyle Pitts catch and run to flip the field. The fourth-year tight end hauled in a 52-yard reception in the second quarter, which set up a seven-yard touchdown run by running back Bijan Robinson.
It was Robinson’s second touchdown run of the game. The second-year running back has eight carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns in the first half of Sunday’s contest. Pitts has two catches for 56 receiving yards. Check out both plays below, as shared by the team’s Twitter account
Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett disrupted the Carolina Panthers’ offensive possession in the second quarter of Sunday’s Week 6 matchup. On the first down handoff, Jarrett met the ball carrier in the backfield and brought him down for an eight-yard loss.
The Panthers then opted to punt the ball, which was also disrupted by the Falcons defensive line. Watch Grady Jarrett bring down the Panthers running back for a loss, as shared by the team’s Twitter account below:

RT: Someone tell me why Bryce Young isn't playing?!?!? Not anything on Dalton--but you're 1-5. The season is over. Play him and develop him. What the heck are we doing??
The Panthers have allowed 190 yards, 4-of-6 on third downs, and 22 points in the first half. And yet. They're in this game because Andy Dalton is dealing, 16-of-22 for 138 and two touchdowns.
Drive stalls, but Eddy Pineiro gets a 24-yard field goal out of it. Panthers 10-7 in this remarkably conventional football game.
Ikem Ekwonu was not on the same page as the rest of the offense, for an egregious false start. But they bounce back with another pass to David Moore.
Feleipe Franks streaks downfield, blows up the Falcons returner, fans behind the bench lose it, picking up on his energy. For more on Franks' transformation into a special teams force, check out this cool story from @KassidyGHill. panthers.com/news/feleipe-f...
Mike Jackson breaks up a third-down attempt in the red zone. Falcons elect to go for the field goal. Koo hits it. Falcons 25-17 early third quarter.
Carolina Panthers wideout Xavier Legette hopped back on his horse this afternoon.
The rookie receiver made a phenomenal (and pretty clutch) touchdown catch right before the break of Sunday’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
MY GOODNESS XAVIER LEGETTE!!

Legette’s score, now the second of his NFL career, kept Carolina close—moving the deficit to 22-17 with seven seconds remaining in the first half. The grab capped off an impressive eight-play, 76-yard drive—one that ate up just 1:35 of clock
The Carolina Panthers will have to dig deep off the edge this afternoon.
