Bijan Robinson's 81-yard touchdown run is longest rush in the NFL this season

ATLANTA (AP) — Bijan Robinson ripped through the Buffalo Bills' defense for an 81-yard touchdown in the second quarter Monday night, the longest rush of his career and the longest in the NFL this season.

Robinson’s TD gave the Atlanta Falcons a 21-7 lead. He took a handoff from Michael Penix Jr., broke through the right side of the line and had one man to beat along the right sideline. Bills safety Cole Bishop, playing in his hometown, dived at Robinson and tried to wrap him up around the waist at the Atlanta 45-yard-line, but Robinson barely broke stride while shaking him off and sprinted the rest of the way to the end zone.

“Bijan so COLD!!!!!!!!!” LeBron James posted on X.

Robinson finished the first half with 138 yards on 12 carries, plus another 14 yards on two receptions. It was his 11th straight game with at least 90 yards from scrimmage, the longest active streak in the NFL.

Robinson has three plays of 50 yards or more this season after having just one play from scrimmage longer than 30 yards last year.
