Breaking down the Falcons run game and the different ways the Commanders could look to stop it

[T]he biggest threat to the Commanders on Sunday will likely be rookie running back Bijan Robinson, who[m] the Falcons selected eighth overall this year. Robinson is tied eighth in the NFL in rushing yards with 364 and is averaging 72.8 yards per game at 5.4 yards per carry.

The Commanders are the ninth worst team in the NFL for rush defense, surrendering an average of 133.6 yards per game on the ground. So on paper, this could be a tough matchup for Washington’s defense.
