LANDOVER, Md. – Through all the ups and downs of the Atlanta Falcons’ season, including a late quarterback change, Bijan Robinson has been the one constant.

The second-year running back scored his second touchdown against the Washington Commanders, giving the Falcons a 14-7 lead with 4:24 left in the first half on Sunday night.

Robinson’s performance was so impressive that he scored two goals in the same series – so to speak. Two plays before the goal, Robinson appeared to have crossed the goal line with a 4-yard run, but the play was called off after replay showed he left the field before the ball crossed the line.

Bijan was small the first time, but not this time! @AtlantaFalcons Take the lead!

After a quarterback sneak by Michael Penix Jr. failed, Atlanta gave the ball back to Robinson, who took a shotgun handoff and ran it in easily.

Robinson’s first touchdown run, also from one yard, came with 5:12 left in the first quarter and tied the game at 7. Robinson has scored eight touchdowns in the last seven games and 12 rushing touchdowns this season.
