Bijan Robinson surpasses 1,000 rushing yards

Another day, another milestone for Falcons standout Bijan Robinson.

Atlanta’s second-year running back made a particularly big splash in 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 entered the game with 977 yards. That’s quite an accomplishment not just for Robinson, but for a Falcons player in general.

The last player in the franchise to reach this mark was in 2022, when Tyler Allgeier finished his rookie season with 1,035 total yards. Robinson is well on his way to surpassing that mark.

He ranks second among NFC running backs with 401 total receiving yards, often showcasing the versatility that makes him such a strong running back in the modern era.

Robinson is also No. 3 among all conference players regardless of position with 1,378 yards from scrimmage in 13 games. He also ranks second among all NFC rushers in total receiving yards.

He continues to be a strong Pro Bowl candidate and one of the best assets the Falcons have to help them out of their current slump.

By midway through the second quarter, Robinson had carried the ball nine times for 54 yards as the Falcons led the Raiders 7-3.
