Bijan Robinson posted a career-high 195 rushing yards as the Atlanta Falcons convincingly played the role of spoiler in a 27-24 Monday Night Football victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The do-everything running back added another 34 yards on five receptions and set a franchise record by breaking loose for a 93-yard touchdown scamper that gave Atlanta a shocking 21-0 lead—just enough to guard against a furious second half rally form Matthew Stafford. Robinson had also started the scoring by reeling in a four-yard pass from Kirk Cousins.
Though the Falcons were already eliminated from playoff contention before kickoff, they authored an incredibly impressive performance that will give their fans real hope during the long offseason. Sure, there's much to figure out at the quarterback position but an elite group of skill position players means there's plenty of ingredients in the cabinet available for use.
