Another day, another milestone for Falcons standout Bijan Robinson.
Atlanta’s second-year running back hit an especially big one during Monday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, surpassing the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the first time in his NFL career.
Robinson had entered the game with 977 yards. This is quite the feat not only for Robinson but for a Falcons player in general.
The last player in the franchise to reach that mark was in 2022 when Tyler Allgeier finished out his rookie season with a total of 1,035 yards. Robinson is well on his way to exceeding that mark.
He is second among NFC running backs with a total of 401 receiving yards, frequently showcasing his versatility that makes him such a strong running back in the modern era.
Robinson also is No. 3 among all conference players, regardless of position, with 1,378 yards from scrimmage over the course of 13 games. He also ranks second among all NFC rushers in total receiving yards.
He continues his case as a strong Pro Bowl candidate and one of the best assets the Falcons have to help them out of their current slump.
As of midway through the second quarter, Robinson had carried the ball nine times for 54 yards as the Falcons led the Raiders, 7-3.
