That's a 59-yard touchdown for Robinson, who came into this evening averaging 8 million yards from scrimmage in his last six prime-time games. Ok, it's not that much - but still significantly more than any other player in the league right now. Robinson is quickly

Atlanta leads 7-0 just a minute and a half into the game.
