Falcons' Bijan Robinson Scores 50-Yard TD Season Opener

Bijan Robinson made an explosive start to the 2025 NFL season by scoring a 50-yard touchdown on the Atlanta Falcons' first possession against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On a play-action from midfield, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. found Robinson on a swing pass, and Robinson outran the entire defense to the end zone. This touchdown highlights Robinson's ability to be a home-run hitter, a question many had before the season after he was selected eighth overall in 2023. Robinson's performance is a strong sign for the Falcons, who have entrusted Penix as their full-time starting quarterback this year. The combination of Penix's play and Robinson's talents is generating excitement about the Falcons' offensive prospects this season. The touchdown was widely covered and celebrated as one of the most exciting plays on the first Sunday of the NFL season.
