Bijan Robinson remains 42 yards from 1,000 yards rushing, but he’s well over 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
The Falcons rookie running back added to his season total Sunday with a 71-yard catch-and-run on a pass from Desmond Ridder, who is starting for the injured Taylor Heinicke.
Robinson’s previous long play this season was 38 yards.
The Falcons lead 14-7.
Ridder has yet to throw an incompletion, going 5-for-5 for 157 yards and two touchdowns. Robinson has two catches for 77 yards.
Tight end Jonnu Smith scored the team’s first touchdown on a 15-yard reception.
