"Robinson's 195 yards were the most rushing yards by a Falcons running back since 2008 when Michael Turner rumbled his way to 208 yards in the season finale against the St. Louis Rams. The performance also moved Robinson ahead of Christian McCaffrey for the most scrimmage yards by a player before turning 24 years-old, with 5,605 yards. There's no doubt that Robinson has become a household name not just in Atlanta, but around the league."
"At least another Atlanta sub-500 year isn't stopping Robinson from continuing his early career dominance in just his third NFL year. He'll be headed to the Pro Bowl in February to represent Atlanta along with fellow offensive mate Chris Lindstrom. Whatever happens with the team next year, whether that be players traded, coaching personnel fired, or front office members shown the front door, Robinson being a key part of this team's future brings me peace of mind for 2026 and beyond."
Bijan Robinson produced a 195-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 17, including one receiving touchdown, earning his second NFC Offensive Player of the Week honor. He previously won the award in Week 6 after rushing for 170 yards, scoring a touchdown, and catching six passes for 68 yards, including an 81-yard scramble. Robinson later broke that long-run mark with a 93-yard touchdown that set a franchise record. The Week 17 game marked the most rushing yards by a Falcons back since 2008 and moved Robinson past Christian McCaffrey for most scrimmage yards before age 24. He will attend the Pro Bowl and remains a central piece of the Falcons' future.
