Falcons come from behind, beat Redskins 25-19

Your Atlanta Falcons are 5-0. Yes, enjoy that for a moment. It was ugly, it took overtime, but they came through in the end.

With hopes fading in overtime, the Redskins had possession at the Atlanta 41-yard line. A touchdown would win it for the visitors. Kirk Cousins took the football and threw in the direction of Ryan Grant, but it was picked off by Robert Alford and returned 59 yards for a touchdown. Ballgame.

It was an offensive struggle for Atlanta, particularly in the first half. Matt Ryan was picked off twice without a touchdown and he took three sacks.
