Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson dominated Week 4 of the 2026/27 NFL season with 207 total yards and four touchdowns in a 45-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints, anchoring a slate that also featured standout wide receiver displays and high-profile quarterback struggles across the league.
Robinson and Wide Receiver Standouts Highlight the Offensive Top Tier
According to Archysport, Bijan Robinson anchored the top tier of Week 4 performances by totaling 207 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns in the rout of New Orleans. He accumulated 145 yards on the ground and three rushing scores, complemented by 62 receiving yards and another touchdown through the air. Teaming up with quarterback Michael Penix Jr., Robinson built upon his strong early-season momentum by tallying over 330 rushing yards and four touchdowns across Weeks 3 and 4.
High-Profile Quarterbacks Stumble in Late-Game Execution
While certain stars elevated their units, several marquee signal-callers faced difficult outings. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts finished with just 12 completions on 27 attempts for 93 yards and two touchdowns. After running back Saquon Barkley left the game due to an injury, the Philadelphia offense ground to a halt, giving up a 20-10 halftime advantage while managing a meager 172 total yards and failing to convert any of their 12 third-down attempts.

Purdy and Mahomes Lead Early MVP Race
The early-season results have altered conference standings and the developing Most Valuable Player race as teams prepare for Week 5. The San Francisco 49ers with Brock Purdy and the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes have both started undefeated, securing positions for both signal-callers near the pinnacle of the league. Mahomes threw nine touchdowns against two interceptions through four games, anchoring Kansas City’s early dominance.
Elsewhere in the AFC, the Jacksonville Jaguars hold a 3-1 record behind steady play from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, positioning the franchise near the top of the AFC South. Partnered with running back Derrick Henry in the AFC North, quarterback Lamar Jackson powers the Baltimore Ravens while maintaining a 70.8 completion percentage and accounting for seven total touchdowns. Baltimore continues to watch Jackson’s availability closely as they evaluate an ankle injury prior to their upcoming fixtures.
