Bijan Robinson’s magic ties Falcons’ crucial matchup vs. Panthers just before half

The Falcons RB is a human highlight reel, and he’s keeping Atlanta’s playoff hopes alive.

Bijan Robinson’s magical skills are not only real and reputable, but they are also the lone saving grace as the Atlanta Falcons struggle to tie this regular-season finale against the Carolina Panthers.

That’s right, it took a Herculean 15-carry, 83-yard effort from Bijan to secure a tie against the 4-12 Panthers as they look to play spoiler. Regardless, Robinson has had one of his better halves as a Falcon running the football and has concluded with a vintage Robinson run where his unprecedented vision finds slivers of room 99% of running backs simply don’t see.

If the Falcons defense can hold, Robinson has a chance to add to his already impressive first half, possibly getting him over 100 scrimmage yards in the first half. Even more important, the Falcons could have a chance to take the lead as they head into the half.

Oh yeah, and the New Orleans Saints have a 16-6 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So, Atlanta’s playoff window has indeed cracked open…the question is if they have what it takes to squeeze in on their final opportunity to host a playoff game.
