Bijan Robinson just went off, blasting the New Orleans Saints for a 59-yard touchdown on his very first touch of the game, putting the Atlanta Falcons up 7-0 a minute and a half in. Talk about a statement opening for what’s gotta be an emotionally charged game!
Penix Was Cooking, Then Bijan Ate
The Atlanta Falcons came out firing on their very first drive against the Saints. Michael Penix was looking sharp right from the jump. First, he hit Drake London with a quick-hitter to the right, and London just broke a tackle and dove over another defender to snag a first down. Right after that, Penix went quick-hitter to the left, connecting with Austin Hooper for a solid nine-yard gain. You could feel them building momentum, marching right down the field.
Must-See TV on His First Play
And then, Bijan Robinson chimed in. It was his first touch of the game, and holy smokes, he delivered! That was a massive 59-yard touchdown for Robinson. This dude is averaging, like, 8 million yards from scrimmage in his last six prime-time games. OK, yeah, it’s not actually *that* much, but still, it’s significantly more than any other player in the league right now. Seriously, Robinson is quickly becoming must-see TV every single time the Falcons are on a nationally-televised matchup. This is the exact kind of start any visitor dreams of, especially in a game this hyped up, and it’s clear the dude is bringing the thunder every chance he gets.
