The Atlanta Falcons lost at home in Week 6 to the Chicago Bears and one of the main criticisms of the defeat was the lack of usage of Bijan Robinson. The Falcons lead running back, regarded by many as the best RB in the NFL, only logged 9 carries and 11 touches overall, and for a Falcons squad that is supposed to be about running the ball, even Falcons Head Coach Kevin Stefanski admitted the team can't get away from what gives Atlanta the best chance for success.
