So good were Robinson and London that they managed to make history.

“Bijan Robinson and Drake London have 3 games with the former gaining 150+ rushing yards and the latter gaining 150+ receiving yards. That is the most such games by any RB/WR duo in the NFL since 2023,” Will McFadden of Atlanta’s official site shared via a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
McFadden also noted that “This is the most games by any RB/WR duo in NFL history!”
As for Robinson, he tied a Falcons legend on a franchise all-time list.
“From ESPN Research: This is Bijan Robinson’s second career game with 200+ scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. That ties Roddy White for the most such games in franchise history,”
Marc Raimondi of ESPN wrote on X.
Robinson burned rubber for an absurd total of 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries for the Falcons, while adding 19 receiving yards on two catches and two targets.
London didn’t find the end zone, but he torched the Packers for 194 receiving yards on nine receptions and 10 targets. With Michael Penix Jr. returning from injury and making his 2026 debut, the Falcons offense hummed, notwithstanding an early interception by the quarterback.
The Falcons improved to 1-2 and will now prepare for a Week 4 showdown against the Ne Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Oct. 5.
