The Atlanta Falcons failed to build on their Week 6 win over the Buffalo Bills and succumbed to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, looking lifeless in a 20-10 loss against the NFC West franchise.
The Falcons are now 3-3, and the questions they needed to answer entering the bye week are still in the air. Bijan Robinson was a shell of himself from the backfield, racking up just 40 yards on 14 carries.
He played better as a pass catcher, recording six receptions for 52 yards and one touchdown. On the other end, Christian McCaffrey took over with 24 carries for 129 yards and two touchdowns.
Additionally, he caught seven passes for 72 yards to round up a big night for the veteran running back. In contrast, Michael Penix Jr. didn’t play at the best level, struggling to get things going.
