Bijan Robinson’s 93-Yard TD, Record Night Lift Falcons Over Rams on Monday Night Football

A prime-time eruption that set franchise records alongside age-based NFL marks elevated the third-year back’s case for season honors.

Overview

  • Robinson totaled 229 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns, including a career-high 195 rushing yards on 22 carries, in Atlanta’s 27-24 upset of Los Angeles.
  • He set the Falcons’ single-season scrimmage-yards record at 2,255, surpassing William Andrews’ 1983 mark, and now leads the NFL in scrimmage yards this season.
  • At age 23, he reached 5,585 career scrimmage yards, the most in NFL history by any player under 24, topping Christian McCaffrey and Barry Sanders.
  • His 93-yard run was the longest rush in Falcons history, the longest by any running back this season, and the longest touchdown run the Rams have ever allowed.
  • Falcons coach Raheem Morris called Robinson “the best player in football,” as Atlanta, already out of playoff contention, notched a third straight win; Rams QB Matthew Stafford moved to sixth all-time in passing yards.
