Bijan Robinson put together a Monday night for the ages to help the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> upset the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That was highlighted by his epic, breakaway, 93-yard touchdown run.<\/p>\n

In all, Robinson had 229 yards from scrimmage on the night, and it gives him a chance to break an NFL record in Week 18.<\/p>\n

The single-season record for scrimmage yards is 2,509, which was set by Titans<\/a> legend Chris Johnson.<\/p>\n

Robinson is up to 2,255 yards from scrimmage.<\/p>\n

He would need 255 rushing plus receiving yards in Week 18 to surpass Johnson.<\/p>\n

MORE:\u00a0Deion Sanders’ reaction to Shedeur’s terrible interception tells the whole story<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, that’s a lot.<\/p>\n

But the Falcons don’t have anything else to play for, and neither do the opposing Saints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why not give Robinson the football early and very often and see if he can make a run at it?<\/p>\n

The Falcons obviously wouldn’t want to get Robinson hurt, but he’s proven durable up to this point. It’d be fun to see him try to set such an impressive record.<\/p>\n

The Saints will actually enter the game on quite the roll, having won four in a row. And the Falcons have shown a lot of spunk since being eliminated from the playoffs.<\/p>\n

For a game with nothing on the line, this one could be incredibly fun.<\/p>\n
