It was a battle of subpar teams in Miami Sunday afternoon. The Falcons prevailed.

A 36-yard field goal from Younghoe Koo as time expired gave Atlanta the 30-28 win over the Dolphins (1-6), and improved the Falcons’ record to 3-3. It’s the first time for Atlanta to reach the .500 mark since early in the 2019 season.
