"Robinson, 23, also set the record for most career yards from scrimmage (5,585) out of anyone in NFL history under the age of 24, surpassing McCaffrey and Barry Sanders. "I said this 18 weeks ago: He's the best player in football," Falcons coach Raheem Morris said. "I mean, it's just as simple as that. He's unbelievable. Everything he does for our football team, from running the football, to catching the football, to protection, to being a leader. He's also our chaplain. He does it all.""
"Robinson had a career-high 195 yards rushing on 22 carries and another 34 yards receiving on five receptions against the Rams. He had two touchdowns, one on the ground -- a franchise-record 93-yarder -- and another through the air. The performance resulted in 229 yards from scrimmage. Robinson is now the Falcons' single-season leader in yards from scrimmage (2,255), surpassing William Andrews' previous record set in 1983."
