What happened: Bijan Robinson crossed the 700-yard rushing mark during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, becoming the first Atlanta running back to reach that total through seven games of a season since Warrick Dunn in 2005, per Marc Raimondi. The mark puts Robinson at an average of at least 100 rushing yards per game across the Falcons' first seven outings of 2026.

Why it matters: Robinson has anchored Atlanta's ground game after the franchise kept only him and Brian Robinson Jr. at running back on its initial 53-man roster and rode his early surge to NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors in September. Even with the Falcons entering Sunday at 2-4 on a two-game skid, his sustained efficiency reinforces his position next in line for a contract extension following Drake London's deal.

What to watch: Atlanta looks to halt a two-game losing streak against the visiting 49ers with cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. activated from injured reserve.
