Big play Bijan does it again.
Tell me if you’ve heard this before: Bijan Robinson is a special kind of football player. If you didn’t believe it before, then the last touchdown drive should have been a wake-up call.
The Falcons needed an answer in the worst way after giving up a quick touchdown following a Michael Penix, Jr. interception. What they got was a 10-play, 70-yard drive that included Robinson showing off some insane footwork, vision and hands to keep this Falcons offense on track. That made it all the better when it ended with a Robinson direct snap where he walked into the end zone untouched.
EASY six for Bijan Robinson.

Now, it’s not a Falcons touchdown if it came easily, Atlanta did have to benefit from a key offsides call on a field goal that gave Atlanta a first down on a 4th & 4. Also, right before Robinson’s touchdown, London got them down to the one-yard line by drawing a defensive pass interference in the back of the end zone.
Listen, beggars can’t be choosers. Right now, on the road, in the biggest game in about six years, with a rookie quarterback who has already thrown an interception, you don’t ask how you score, you just thank God for the points.
