The Falcons are a different — and better — team in prime-time. That’s due in part to the fact that their great running back performs even greater at night.
Via NBC Sports research, Robinson averages 145.5 yards from scrimmage per game, when the game begins at 7:00 p.m. ET or later.
It’s the highest average for any player since 1970, when primetime football first became a regular occurrence in the NFL, based on a minimum of five prime-time games.
On Monday night against the Saints, Robinson had 147 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. In Week 3 on a Thursday night against the Packers, Robinson had 213 yards from scrimmage, and two touchdowns.
On Sunday night, the Falcons and Robins get their third prime-time game in a row, against the Ravens.
