sportsOct 5, 2026231,961

Bijan Robinson rushed 12 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yard score on the third play from scrimmage, as the Atlanta Falcons led 24-7 at halftime of Monday Night Football. The Falcons scored on four of their seven first-half possessions and outgained the New Orleans Saints 255 to 147 yards. Brian Robinson added a 4-yard touchdown and finished the half with nine carries for 35 yards. Quarterback Michael Penix completed 10 of 15 passes for 125 yards, with Drake London catching four passes for 82 yards. Saints quarterback Tyler Shough was 12 of 19 for 139 yards, with Chris Olave hauling in three receptions for 62 yards, while New Orleans managed just 15 rushing yards on seven carries. The Falcons interrupted pregame Saints celebrations that referenced 2006 and dominated the first half offensively and on the ground.

An important Bijan Robinson fact is that I asked him at his draft what show he was binge watching and he said THE MARVELOUS MS MAISEL. I think of this often.

Bijan Robinson: huge Tony Shalhoub fan.

James Hell Brooks20

He must love witty banter

I desperately want to know what he thinks of Etoile

Ennui the People10

As a Saints fan I absolutely cannot stand how likable he is.

Michael Henderson8

A man of taste and culture

I'm already struggling not to like the guy as Panthers fan. This information doesn't help.

Quoting this

Maggie Hendricks16

Now I want to know if he watched Gilmore Girls, too.

Scott Spratt7

Funny coincidence, Arch Manning's agent has instructed him to give that same answer when he gets drafted

Zach Goldberg5

This is more stunning to me than Mike Tomlin's Minecraft city.

its so nice to have ur star player be universally known as a kind, wonderful guy in the clubhouse and off the field and then watch him put up 200 scrimmage yards for the 15th week in a row and see him say shit about out head coach like "It was like Martin Luther King was in there man"

Idk how to explain it, but Bijan Robinson and Lamar Jackson run the same way

Ok I think I can explain it: it's so hard to hit both of them cleanly. They just glide around the field and it looks like an older sibling playing with his little brothers

I never would’ve made the connection but I can see it.

Seth Heder1

Flowy and light on their feet, but their legs also look like they’re always like full extension. Like the knee drive on the lead leg doesn’t ever get very high. Makes them look like they’re gliding.

Bijan Robinson is averaging 9.2 yards per carry tonight and somehow by the eye test that still feels low.

Bijan Robinson versus the league's worst run defense went about as expected on the first Falcons drive

Good golly, Ms. Molly, Bijan might get my fantasy team 50 points tonight 🤯🤯🤯

Sad part is it wasn't a terrible run fit until Godchaux decided to backdoor at the last second

It’s possible I don’t understand math but I think it’s more likely that whatever stats Kalshi is supplying to Yahoo for fantasy football are bullshit: my score is on the left, and I have Bijan Robinson, who is currently playing. My opponent is on the right, with no players remaining this week.

A screenshot from the Yahoo fantasy app, where Kalshi is saying I have an 84% chance to win, despite being up two points over an opponent that cannot score anything else this week.

16% chance of losing for me seems high, considering that I am already ahead of someone who cannot score more points

Thanks, I Hate It3

Non zero chance of fumble plus crippling injury but it definitely ain’t 14%.

Bijan could forget how to play football and run backwards 80s yards and then where would you be?

Troy Aikman trying to explain how smart Bijan Robinson is and just stopping in his own amazement was actually good and I loved it

The Falcons doing a good job of mixing in Brian Robinson Jr. waters to go along with the Bijan Robinson tequilas

I want to see Bijan Robinson behind the Texans offensive line for just one week to see what happens.

What is the argument FOR continuing to play a QB instead of going wildcat to give Bijan another blocker

Nathan Jahnke

@ffnatejahnke.bsky.social

The Falcons just ran a play within the 5 yard line with Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts Sr. all on the sideline, and scored.

Bijan Robinson puts a damper on Saints’ celebration with 59-yard TD run.

Troy Aikman did you suggest that Bijan Robinson is the better version of Barry Sanders

Austin Hooper played in that insane Falcons 45-32 MNF win over the Saints in 2016. Look at him still making key blocks helping Bijan get into the end zone
