Sean Payton knew the path to defeating the Falcons and staying in the playoff race meant finding a way to slow down running back Bijan Robinson.
Led by a physical defensive line, the Broncos didn’t just slow him down — they bottled him up.
A week after Robinson ran for 116 yards in a win over the Saints, the Broncos made Robinson nonexistent for the majority of Sunday’s 38-6 win at Empower Field at Mile High. The former Texas standout finished with just 12 carries for 35 yards — a key component to a dominant defensive outing.
