Atlanta Falcons Defeat Dallas Cowboys 27-21 in Week 9 NFL Matchup
The Atlanta Falcons secured a 27-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 9 matchup on Sunday, November 3, 2024. The game, held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, was broadcast on FOX and featured a compelling showdown between two of the NFL‘s standout receivers, Drake London of the Falcons and CeeDee Lamb of the Cowboys.
The Falcons, now 6-3, continued their strong performance this season, particularly on offense where they average 371.6 yards per game, ranking seventh in the NFL. Their defense, while not as stellar, managed to contain the Cowboys’ offense, which has been inconsistent this year. The Cowboys, with a record of 3-5, struggled defensively, giving up 28.3 points per game, the second-worst in the league.
CeeDee Lamb was a highlight for the Cowboys, with his consistent performance this season, including 45 receptions for 613 yards and four touchdowns in seven games. However, the team’s overall defensive woes and lackluster running game, where they rank worst in rushing yards per game, continued to plague them.
The game was closely watched by fans, with various streaming options available, including Fubo TV, DirecTV, and NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV. The matchup was crucial for the Cowboys’ postseason aspirations, especially after their recent loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
