FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, the NFL announced Wednesday.
It is Robinson's second league accolade in 2025. He also earned NFL Offensive Player of the Month for September.
Robinson had a record-setting performance in the Falcons' Week 6 prime-time win against the Buffalo Bills on Monday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. En route to the 24-14 victory, Robinson totaled a season-high 238 yards from scrimmage. That broke down into 170 yards rushing and 68 yards receiving. He scored on an 81-yard reception, the longest of his career.
"He's the best player in football," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said postgame. "I've said it multiple times. I can't say it enough."
AtlantaFalcons.com published a story dedicated entirely to milestones Robinson either broke or reached Monday here.
Some highlights, however, include the following:
— Robinson's 170 rushing yards were the most ever by a Falcons player in a prime-time game.
— Robinson and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey are the only two players in the NFL who have tallied at least 100 scrimmage yards in every game this season.
— Robinson surpassed 100 yards rushing in the first half for the first time in his career. He was at 138 after two quarters of work.
— Robinson's 81-yard touchdown tied Michael Turner's 81-yard score against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2012 as the second-longest rushing touchdown in Falcons history.
— At just 23 years old, Robinson is the youngest Falcons player to reach 4,000 career scrimmage yards. He's at 4,172 since getting drafted with the No. 8 overall pick in 2023.
Robinson's next opportunity to impress will be Sunday against the 49ers at Levi's Stadium (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC).
