The first one came in early. The rest came in plenty. The end zone looked as big as Lake Lanier for the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, as they buried the New Orleans Saints with an offensive onslaught.
Bijan Robinson started the scoring parade with a 59-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter. It opened the floodgates for the Falcons. A few minutes later, Robinson scored again on a four-yard run. Brian Robinson Jr. followed it up with another rushing touchdown in the second quarter.
The elder Robinson added two more in the second half to bring their total to five rushing touchdowns, tying their franchise record, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Falcons did not relent throughout the contest, running away with the victory, 45-24, to improve to 2-2.
Brian had 14 carries for 62 yards, while Bijan had 19 carries for 145 yards. The duo outran the entire Saints, who tallied only 50 rushing yards on 19 carries.
The running game aided Michael Penix Jr.'s efficiency. He went 15-of-20 for 223 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions, as he continues to regain his form after recovering from an ACL injury.
More details to come.
