Sometimes, MVP stands for Most Valuable Persons. That’s a rule I just made up this week, given my intent to hand the award to several people at once.
The Falcons last ran for 200-plus yards in late November of 2023, and they had struggled badly on the ground in recent weeks, with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier totally stymied against the Buccaneers. Atlanta flipped the script this week, going from passing their way to victory to galloping their way there against a Panthers defense that was equal parts injured and weak up front.
The end result was a well-called, well-blocked effort, with enormous credit going to Zac Robinson (more willing to run up the middle, smart about picking his spots) and the line (which was superb).
