Running back Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 of the NFL season.

Fans looking for a big game from Bijan Robinson were treated to a spectacular play early in the game. Robinson received the ball near the sideline and made several moves around the Tampa Bay defense to reach the endzone.

This led to a big reaction from fans, including one who said Shilo Sanders would have made the tackle. Shilo was a safety on the Buccaneers roster during the preseason, but he was cut from the team before the season started.
“Shilo would’ve had that tackle!!!” one fan wrote.
“A back like Bijan and he gets 4 rushes in the first half. Makes no sense,” one fan commented.
“Buccaneers being kind to start the year leaving a wide open defense,” one fan added.
Fans continued to react in the comments.
“Hell yeah! Just walked in the door, hauling ass home to catch the game. Literally walked in to see the TD,” one fan commented.
“Best part is he didn’t have to take a hit,” one fan added.
