The big play in the Eagles game might have have been when they were stopped at fourth and goal while leading 20-10. A 17-point lead might have been enough - and I don’t question the decision to go for it - but from that point on it seemed like it was all Rams. ---

5 Rushing touchdowns for B\*\*an Robinson of the Falcons. Not a record however A\*\*in Kamara (who got 2 rushing TDs on the night) got 6 in 2020 (the most since 1932) ---

B\*\*an Robinson got 5TDs but they were split between Bijan and Brian. I put Alvin Kamara’s name in the same format for consistency. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Thanks for the explanation. I’ve heard a lot of “Meet the Robinsons” jokes in the last couple of Falcons games from the announcers. I think they’re tickled by the coincidence. ---
