From the article

Bijan Robinson has been the engine of Atlanta's offense all year, and the return of Michael Penix Jr. under center has only made life easier for him. With a credible passing threat finally back in the building after Penix's extended absence, defenses can no longer simply load the box against Robinson the way they did earlier in the season, and the results showed up immediately. Atlanta ran for 242 rushing yards as a team in its last outing, averaging 5.9 yards per attempt with Robinson leading the way as the focal point. He remains one of the most explosive, hardest-to-tackle backs in the league regardless of matchup, capable of breaking a long run on any given snap.

Robinson thrives with Penix back; led 242-yard team rushing effort at 5.9 YPA.
