Bills upset Falcons in huge road win

The Bills came away with a big win in their Week 4 game against Atlanta.

Location: Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA

Regular season records: Buffalo (3-1), Atlanta (3-1)

In a nutshell:The Bills put forth a whale of an effort against the defending NFC champions. The defense kept it a low-scoring game and forced three turnovers. The offense mixed the run and pass well and Stephen Hauschka provided a pair of long distance field goals for the second straight week. It all fit together for an improbable 23-17 road victory over Atlanta.

Winning the turnover battle by a margin of 3-0 proved crucial in the win as Buffalo scored 13 points off turnovers in the six-point win. Down 10-7 at the half Buffalo got a defensive touchdown when Tre’Davious White returned a Matt Ryan fumble 52 yards for a touchdown.

The Bills outscored the Falcons 16-7 in the second half as the defense time and again turned Atlanta’s high-powered offense away, including a 4th-and-1 play at the Bills nine-yard line with under a minute remaining.

The win lifts Buffalo to 3-1 on the season and into sole possession of first place in the AFC East.

-Buffalo took the lead on a good-looking eight-play 67-yard drive. After converting a 3rd-and-5 on a scramble, Tyrod Taylor found Charles Clay deep down the right sideline for a 44-yard pass play to set up 1st-and-goal at the nine. One play later Taylor found Jordan Matthews in the back left corner of the end zone for a touchdown with seven minutes left in the half (7-3).
