ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons took an early lead against the Washington Commanders and never let it go, winning their Week 4 matchup Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Final score: 34-27

Why it's important: The Falcons responded well after being shut out a week prior and now enter their bye riding a win. A 2-2 record should feel much better than 1-3, especially with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers waiting for Atlanta after the break. Both were 3-0 entering Week 3.

Key takeaway : The offense quelled many concerns that swirled in the lead-up to Sunday's game. A wide receiver (Drake London) and tight end (Kyle Pitts Sr.) each caught a touchdown pass for the first time this season. There were multiple explosive plays, too, including three that went for more than 25 yards.
