"The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Minnesota Vikings 22-6 on a night where their new kicker, John Parker Romo, was successful on all five of his field goal attempts. The Vikings shot themselves in the foot multiple times throughout the game due to a variety of mistakes. They were penalized eight times for 50 yards. The Vikes also allowed six sacks and turned the ball over four times."
"Minnesota had a hard time containing Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who ran for 47 yards on Atlanta's opening drive. However, a good-looking series for the Dirty Birds was derailed by penalties, and the Falcons settled for a 38-yard field goal to go up 3-0. Atlanta almost burned two timeouts on that possession as they dealt with the loud Minnesota crowd. Robinson finished the game with 168 scrimmage yards and 135 yards on the ground."
