While the Atlanta Falcons may have fallen short in their Sunday Night Football clash with the San Francisco 49ers, they can sure feel good about the performances and highlight reels of their star RB Bijan Robinson who has been lighting up the NFL in his third season.

The Falcons noticeably didn't roll with Bijan Robinson during a fourth down situation late, which sparked fan outbursts online.

To be clear, Bijan Robinson is pretty much a superhero. But for the Atlanta Falcons, in a backwards sort of way, that's a bit of a problem. It's not about Robinson himself. It's about the fact that the Falcons don't seem to win without Robinson having a gigantic game. On Sunday night, he had 92 total yards and a touchdown, and the Falcons lost.

In late June and early July, Robinson worked out with McCaffrey and his brother Luke McCaffrey, a wide receiver with the Commanders. The 49ers have struggled to run the ball this season, but gashed the Falcons for 174 yards on 39 carries. McCaffrey ran 24 times for 129 yards.

Running back Bijan Robinson had a career performance as the Atlanta Falcons toppled Josh Allen and the Bills 24-14 on Monday Night Football, inflicting a second straight defeat on Buffalo.

Christian McCaffrey has long been the standard for dual-threat running backs in the NFL. This season, his offseason training partner Bijan Robinson has surpassed him.

The NFL rewarded Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson after his strong "Monday Night Football" performance against the Buffalo Bills.

The Atlanta Falcons battled the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football with offseason friends Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey, two of the NFL's top running backs, battling it out in San Francisco.
