GLENDALE, Ariz. — Bijan Robinson had another outstanding game running the ball and catching it, talented tight end Kyle Pitts caught a touchdown pass, and the defense made a big play in a critical moment.
This was what the Atlanta Falcons were supposed to look like this season.
The good times have come too late for them to make a run at the postseason, with Atlanta eliminated from the chase weeks ago, but Sunday’s 26-19 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium was a reminder that this is a roster with the potential to produce positive results.
“It shows guys what this team should look like on a consistent basis, every time we’re out there,” Falcons second-year head coach Raheem Morris said.
The NFC South Division’s Falcons (6-9) won for the second straight week, with both of those victories coming on the road. They’ve won three of their past five games, bouncing back after a five-game skid that derailed their season.
