The Atlanta Falcons took a 10-7 lead over the Buffalo Bills into halftime on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

After an uneventful first quarter, when the teams traded field position, Falcons’ running back Tevin Coleman busted out for a 29-yard run to put Atlanta in the Buffalo red zone.

That led to a Matt Bryant 28-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter.

On the Bills’ next possession, quarterback Tyrod Taylor found wide receiver Jordan Matthews in the corner of the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown to put the Bills ahead 7-3.

Coleman then dove threw the air while catching a pass to get the Falcons into Buffalo territory late in the first half.

Later, Devonta Freeman punched in a 1-yard touchdown with 21 seconds left in the second quarter to give the Falcons the 10-7 lead.
