The Falcons beat the Panthers and won 38:20

The Falcons didn't reach the 550 yards they had in their Week Five win over the Buccaneers, but their offense continued to be difficult to stop in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Bijan Robinson ran for 95 yards and two scores, while Tyler Allgeier ran for 105 yards and another touchdown to pave the way to a 38-20 road win. The Falcons finished with 198 rushing yards and 423 total yards in their third straight win.

The Falcons had just one rushing touchdown through the first five weeks of the season, but the Panthers had no answer to Atlanta's ground attack. They also released Drake London and Kyle Pitts for nine catches and 144 yards.

London caught Kirk Cousins' only touchdown pass of the afternoon and the offensive performance is pretty much what the Falcons dreamed of this offseason. After a 10-point win in the opening game, they have now scored 139 points in the last five weeks and this performance will give them a chance to win virtually every week.

They'll try to keep things going at home against a Seahawks team that has struggled defensively in recent weeks, so the offensive explosion may not stop anytime soon.

The Panthers held up well in the first half thanks to two touchdown passes from Andy Dalton, but the defense's inability to get off the field limited their opportunities in the second half, and an AJ Terrell interception in the fourth quarter contributed to that that the game stayed out of Carolina's reach.

Week seven sends the Panthers to Washington to face a Commanders team whose four-game winning streak ended on Sunday in Baltimore.
