Robinson's Primetime Dominance
The Ravens will take on the Falcons on Sunday night with their defense focused squarely on Atlanta's running back. Robinson has posted 145.5 yards from scrimmage per game in primetime, the highest mark since 1970. That figure sits nearly 20 yards ahead of the next player on the list. He also owns a streak of three consecutive primetime outings with at least 125 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns.
Baltimore's Run Defense Strengths
Since acquiring their middle linebacker midway through the 2022 season, the Ravens have surrendered just 97.1 rushing yards per game, the lowest total in the league. They have also gone 18 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher, with the most recent instance coming when an opponent gained 151 yards in Week 3. Every defender will need to contribute when Robinson carries the ball, as the unit stresses gap discipline and collective effort.
Team Effort and Recent Context
The Falcons hold a 7-2 record in games where Robinson reaches 120 or more yards from scrimmage, though Baltimore notes the supporting cast around him, including strong blocking from the offensive line and a standout wide receiver. The Ravens defense continues to adjust under its new playcaller and has dealt with late-game concessions in recent weeks. With their quarterback managing an ankle issue, the group sees this matchup as a chance to set the tone through sound tackling and assignment football.
