On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons dropped to 3-7 on the 2026 NFL season with a home thrashing at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Falcons only managed to put 13 points on the board in this one, going three and out on their first four offensive possessions of the game.
After the game, Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson, who was the lone consistent source of offense on Sunday, kept things brutally honest when discussing how the fans were repeatedly booing the team throughout the afternoon.
“They put in their hard-earned work every single week to try to make it to these games. It's our job to make it count for them. When they boo us, we deserve it. It's our job to make it better,” he said, per Will McFadden of the Falcons on X, formerly Twitter.
Sunday wasn't the first time that the boo birds have been out at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the home team this year, with Falcons fans making sure that team owner Arthur Blank is fully aware of their displeasure as the team stares a ninth straight season without a playoff berth in the face.
The Falcons have some surprisingly strong wins this year, notably beating the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers, but no such upset took place on Sunday against the dynastic Chiefs, who were down to their third-string running back and tight end and still put up an impressive offensive performance.
In any case, the Falcons now have a much-needed bye week to try to get themselves together before they next hit the field on November 29 for a road game vs the Minnesota Vikings.
