FALCONS PLAYER TO WATCH: RB Bijan Robinson showed why the Falcons defied conventional wisdom by taking him at No. 8 in the draft. The rookie scored his first career touchdown on a brilliant 11-yard play. He hauled in a swing pass, faked out one defender and smashed through two more on his way to the end zone. Robinson tacked on a 21-yard run that set up Atlanta’s go-ahead touchdown. Look for the Falcons to expand Robinson’s role even more as he gets more experience.
