Bijan Robinson's 238-Yard Showcase Lifts Falcons Over Bills 24-14

The third-year back has 484 rushing yards with 338 receiving through six weeks, joining Thurman Thomas in a rare dual-threat start.

Overview

  • Robinson broke free for an 81-yard touchdown that covered 100 total yards of running at 20.17 mph, according to Next Gen Stats.
  • He tied his single-game high with 170 rushing yards on 19 carries and added six catches for 68 yards for the NFL Research–noted third-most scrimmage yards in a Monday night game.
  • Head coach Raheem Morris reiterated his view of Robinson as the league's best player following the performance.
  • Drake London produced 147 first-half receiving yards with a touchdown as he and Robinson became the first teammates since 2007 to each have a score and 140-plus scrimmage yards before halftime.
  • Atlanta’s offense cooled after the break, but a defense-led second half and John Parker Romo’s late 33-yard field goal on a 14-play drive sealed the win with 1:47 remaining.
