Atlanta Falcons‘ Bijan Robinson sparked a truly awe-inspiring moment against the Houston Texans. In the fourth quarter of the NFL week five game, the running back made some jaws drop after the home team stole the victory in the final moments.

The rookie RB is never out of creative ideas, but this might be his career highlight so far. His efforts haven’t been in vain as the Falcons managed to edge past the Texans with only seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

What was that, Bijan Robinson?

The fourth quarter had barely kicked off in the Mercedes-Benz stadium, and the Falcons were already trailing at 12-7. But the crazy play from Robinson put the souls back into the home crowd, setting the tone for the final quarter.

Receiving a throw from linebacker Lorenzo Carter with the left hand, Robinson took the ball for a trip. Starting by passing it to his right hand behind the back and then again passing it to his left, the rookie ended the move with a touchdown, slipping through the entire Texans’ defense. It’s too puzzling to describe in words, so rather see for yourself. But be careful, don’t blink… You might miss it!

Unbelievable, right? Well, not to someone who’s been following Robinson for quite a while. Since his college football days, the running back has been known for his creativity and never-ending ideas to bamboozle opponents. His merry-go-round self-pass is now the latest addition to the repertoire.

But the surprise didn’t end there as the home team managed to snap a field goal with less than 10 seconds remaining on the clock. Trailing at 19-18, the added 3 points put the Falcons on top and gave them their third win of the season in true style.

Patrick Mahomes will be proud, of both Robinson and the Falcons.
