Falcons Fall Despite Bijan's Spark | Atlanta Falcons News

The Falcons’ season opener ended in a brutal 13-20 loss to the Steelers, despite outgaining them in yards and holding the ball longer—thanks to nine costly penalties and two turnovers from rookie QB Desmond Ridder. Coach Stefanski blamed technique lapses, especially on the road, while Bijan Robinson shined with 173 yards and the team’s only TD—set up by a defensive turnover. But a fourth-quarter interception by T.J. Watt sealed the win. With division rivals also falling, the Falcons’ home opener against the Panthers next Sunday is their chance to fix the mistakes and turn things around.
