Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers and Bijan Robinson
Digest more
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.
