Bijan Robinson made headlines with his remarkable performance against the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 NFL season. His statistics not only showcase his talent but also place him in the elite ranks of football history.
Bijan Robinson’s Historic Stats Against Buffalo Bills
One of Robinson’s standout achievements was his 81-yard touchdown run. This play ties with Michael Turner’s 81-yard run from 2012 as the second-longest rushing touchdown in Atlanta Falcons history. The record is still held by Warrick Dunn, who had a remarkable 90-yard run against the New York Giants in 2006.
Record-Breaking Performance
Robinson’s touchdown is notable for being the longest run by any NFL player in the current season. Additionally, it stands as the longest rushing touchdown in a “Monday Night Football” game since Matt Breida’s 83-yard run in 2019.
- Long Rushing Touchdowns:
- Robinson: 81 yards (2025 vs. Bills)
- Michael Turner: 81 yards (2012 vs. Buccaneers)
- Warrick Dunn: 90 yards (2006 vs. Giants)
Consistency and Milestones
This season, Robinson has averaged over 100 scrimmage yards in all five games. He ties the franchise record set by William Andrews in 1983 for the longest consecutive streak of this nature to start a season. Notably, Robinson reached 100 rushing yards in the first half, marking an impressive first for his career.
In a shift from the previous seasons, he has already achieved three plays of over 50 yards, a significant increase from just one such play across all of 2023 and 2024.
Team Achievements
In a remarkable performance, teammate Drake London also gained over 140 scrimmage yards in the first half. Together, Robinson and London have now joined the ranks of only two other NFL teammates to achieve over 140 scrimmage yards in the same half, a feat that has not been accomplished since 1991.
Younger Player Achievements
At just 23 years old, Robinson has already reached 4,000 career scrimmage yards, making him the youngest player in Falcons history to do so. He shares the record for the fewest games played to reach this milestone with William Andrews, achieving it in just 39 games.
Prime-Time Dominance
In the prime-time game against the Bills, Robinson amassed 170 rushing yards, the highest for a Falcon in such a setting. Remarkably, he is only the second player in NFL history to record at least 170 rushing yards and 60 receiving yards in a prime-time game, joining the legendary Tiki Barber from 2005.
Historic Season Statistics
With 822 scrimmage yards thus far, Robinson ranks fourth among all players in the Super Bowl era for the most yards accumulated through the first five games of a season. Christian McCaffrey last achieved this in 2019, following in the footsteps of O.J. Simpson and Tiki Barber in their respective eras.
As the season unfolds, Bijan Robinson continues to rewrite records and establish himself as one of the premier players in the NFL, especially against formidable opponents like the Buffalo Bills.
