Faloon contributed a pair of tries in an impressive win away to the Cardiff Blues, their first in the Welsh capital since the playing days of their now coach, Eric Elwood.
"After getting injured it was good to come back in, and we all just stepped it up. We focused on a couple of certain aspects and it was good to get them right," said Faloon. "We hadn't won on Welsh soil for a long time so the victory was important.
"All games on the road are hard, and we had only won one game away from home this year so far, against Zebre. It was a fantastic win.
"When you go on the road you can't give away penalties, you have to be disciplined and I think we achieved that."
Discipline will be key to maintaining their impressive run, with the Galway outfit now facing three away games followed by visits from top two Glasgow and Ulster.
Faloon however is adamant his side will continue to pick up points despite their difficult run-in, if they can reproduce the form they displayed in Cardiff.
"Our last five games will be tough but with these three away games we've to do exactly what we did against Cardiff," he added.
"We have to keep our discipline, not give away penalties, just wait for chances to come and take them when they do.
"Whenever you play the table toppers you want to beat them, and whenever we are at home we are extremely confident so we'll be looking forward to those games."
A fringe player for much of last season at Ulster, Faloon joined Connacht at the start of the season and has seen significantly more game time with his new club.
The back rower saw the possibilities available at the Sportsground, and is now benefiting from the opportunities given to him by coach Elwood - a man who he had already worked under with the Irish Wolfhounds.
"I'd worked for Eric with the Wolfhounds so I knew he would be great to play for," he added.
"There is a real hunger and desire [at Connacht] and it is very easy to play for a team who are hungry and want to play better.
"I think performance-wise it helps when you play every week. You then know what's going to be happening and you get up to match speed.
"It's very hard when you are in and out to carry any sort of consistency into the next game. Playing every week has done me wonders.
"We are a developing squad. It's helped that there have been steady improvements each year and we just want to keep it on track."
A sentiment which will no doubt be echoed by Pat Lam, who is set to replace long-term coach Elwood at the end of the season.
