The full read

Bijan Robinson's ground game stalled against the Ravens: 17 carries, 86 yards, no touchdowns, and -1.9 expected points added (EPA) on the ground. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, so a negative number means his runs cost Atlanta expected points.

The run that defined his day opened the third quarter. Up 14-9, first and 10 at the Baltimore 41 with 11:33 left, he went off left tackle for 38 yards to the Baltimore 3: +2.7 EPA and +6.5 points of win probability. On the next snap he lost 2 yards on first and goal from the 3, and the drive ended in a field goal for 17-9.

Take away the 38 and a 20-yarder in the first quarter, and he had 28 yards on 15 carries. Only 29% of his runs gained positive EPA, against 54% in Weeks 1 through 4, when he put up +11.2 EPA on 85 carries. As a receiver he caught 4 of 7 targets for 32 yards, including a 14-yard catch with 19 seconds left in regulation at 23-23, and two third-down throws to him fell incomplete.
