The Atlanta Falcons kept their offensive firepower rolling in Week 6 of the Premier Madden League, taking down the Buffalo Bills 48-38 in a high-octane clash.
Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was nearly flawless, completing 21 of 24 passes for 371 yards and 4 touchdowns, picking apart Buffalo’s secondary with pinpoint accuracy. His favorite target was Kyle Pitts, who had a career day with 197 yards and 2 touchdowns on 7 receptions, proving nearly unstoppable in the middle of the field. The ground game was just as effective, with Raheim Sanders pounding out 131 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, giving Atlanta perfect balance. On defense, Clark Phillips III came up clutch, snatching 2 interceptions to halt Buffalo’s comeback attempts.
For the Bills, Josh Allen put up big numbers of his own, throwing for 345 yards and 2 scores, though his 2 interceptions proved costly. Running back James Cook III carried the load with an explosive performance — 120 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground, plus 116 receiving yards and 2 more scores — accounting for five total touchdowns in a remarkable effort. Still, even his dominance couldn’t keep pace with Atlanta’s efficiency.
With the win, the Falcons improve to 4-2, riding a hot streak behind Penix’s emergence and Pitts’ dominance. The Bills, now 3-3, will look to regroup after back-to-back shootout losses.
