The Atlanta Falcons put on a dominant display in a 35-14 road victory over the Green Bay Packers
on Thursday night, led by none other than arguably the league's best running back, Bijan Robinson. The 24-year-old running back had his way with the Packers' defense, racking up 194 rushing yards, a 6.7-yard-per-carry average, and two touchdowns. For good measure, he also tacked on two catches for 19 yards in what was an unbelievable all-around performance.As stellar as Robinson was on Thursday, this type of showing has become a regular occurrence, and his 213 yards from scrimmage set a surprising new NFL record. While Robinson has been a nightmare for opponents long before Thursday night, he's actually been even more terrifying against teams playing
on their own home fields.
As OptaSTATS revealed, Robinson became the first player in NFL history to total 150-plus yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in five consecutive road games.

It's a wild statistic, especially given that Robinson cleared the 150 mark fairly easily in each of those games. It's also not great news for several of the Falcons' upcoming opponents, including the New Orleans Saints (Week 4) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Week 8), who'll host Robinson and company.
