The Atlanta Falcons running back caught an 11-yard pass from Michael Penix Jr. on the first play from scrimmage against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His second touch went all the way.
Penix ran play-action from midfield on first down. He then looked to Robinson on a swing pass after the play fake, and Robinson was off to the races. Robinson ran untouched down the right sideline and through the Tampa Bay secondary into the end zone for a 50-yard touchdown.

It was en explosive scoring play from one of football's most exciting players for the first Sunday touchdown of the NFL season.
It's a big season in Atlanta as the Falcons hand the keys of the offense over to Penix. How he performs in his first year as a full-time starting quarterback is one of the NFL's intriguing early-season storylines. Having Robinson's talents at his disposal gives him a significant leg up.
